David served his country as a Lieutenant in the Merchant Marines from 1947-1949. He worked on the Virginia peninsula as a construction contractor. David retired to Pencil Bluff, Arkansas, where he and his wife worked as cattle ranchers and owned chicken houses. He was a farmer at heart, and always had a garden that he shared with family and friends. David trained Tennessee Walkers and his horses always placed well in shows. He had a passion for restoring John Deere tractors and classic cars, and he could play a real good hand of poker.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years; one son; three daughters and two sons-in-law; six grandchildren and their spouses; twelve great grandchildren; and three sisters.
