David was an old soul, a kind soul, and a loving soul. He was a man of few words and was a simple man. David lived life to the fullest with no regrets. He was amazed of the beauty of the land that the Lord has made. He loved his family, friends, the outdoors, fishing, camping, deer camp, rendezvous, long drives in the woods, working on his forge, working the garden, loved his black and white western movies and enjoyed cookouts with his family and friends. His greatest achievement was his children and grandchildren.
