David was proud of his service with the Navy, he enjoyed spending time with his friends from VEPCO, the Moose Lodge, and the Harley Shop. He loved his motorcycle and the freedom that came with being on a Harley Davidson, telling stories of riding from Florida up the coast and the adventures that came with those trips. David was a proud father and grandfather, his adoration for all of his children and grandchildren showed in his eyes and gigantic laugh. He never forgot to say I love you, give a hug or lend a hand.
