David was a graduate of Roosevelt-Wilson High School and Baptist by faith. He served his country honorably in the United States Air Force during the Korean War era stationed in Alaska and was very proud of his service and his country. He later worked as a glassworker for Hazel Atlas for many years. He was an avid football fan, especially the Dallas Cowboys and WVU. David enjoyed collecting hats, clocks, and watches. While he was a very quiet person that kept to himself most of the time, he enjoyed his many nieces and nephews, and especially their family dinners over the years.
