Such a dedicated husband, father, friend and brother. May the wonderful memories of a life well lived bring you comfort in the coming days ahead.

I knew David as the loving father of Kristin and Korean, in addition to his grandchildren who he took great pride in. He always has a warm greeting for me even though he did not know me well. His character as man was evident in the ways that his daughters and grandchildren loved and cared for him; in the same manner that he was cared for them.
