David enjoyed digging in the earth, getting his hands dirty, planting and trimming plants and flowers while meeting and greeting people, friends and family. After retirement he continued planting for Steve and Cindy at House of Beef. In earlier years he loved fishing, water skiing, playing pool, bowling and photography. David loved animals and helping people around town. He was a quiet guy that kept mostly to himself. He loved mom’s fried chicken, spaghetti and tuna sandwiches.
