David was loving, kind, gentle, and funny. An “Old School Gentleman” with a great sense of humor, even in hard times. He liked to watch movies, old TV shows, and listening to Frank Sinatra. He was an avid Green Bay Packer and NY Yankee fan. He enjoyed playing many games and sports. He was able to make even difficult tasks fun and easier.
Family was important to David. Some of his favorite memories were created up north at “the lake” on annual family vacations. He especially loved spending time with his granddaughter to whom he was “Boppa”. He will be truly missed.
