A proud Army veteran, David served his country during the Vietnam War, a testament to his courage and dedication. After his military service, he transitioned to a career as a dispatcher for C White and Son, where his colleagues admired his work ethic and good humor.
David’s hobbies brought him immense joy. He loved spending time riding his golf cart around the lake, relishing the beauty of nature and the tranquility it provided.
