David served in the military for two years. He was a retired maintenance technician/supervisor for 40 plus years, which he enjoyed very much, and was such a hard worker. He enjoyed spending time with his family, and his grandbabies. Pops loved watching his western movies, and telling his stories about his Germany memories in the Army. On the weekends, he enjoyed going to town, shopping and ending the day with a filet mignon steak dinner.
David, our sweet Pops was such a loving husband, a wonderful father, an amazing Pops, and a dear brother, cousin, and friend to many. He touched very many lives and will be missed dearly.
Daddy, you will be so missed and never forgotten. We love you always, and forever. Get your rest Pops.
