He included all of his children in his business and enjoyed working with them every day for over 25 years. He was an avid part of and contributor to the community.  David was loved by many and easily made a friend out of a stranger.

David was an avid cook and although the food was wonderful, it was about being together as a family.  He enjoyed riding his Harley, camping, mowing his lawn, watching movies and being in his barn.

David was a wonderful mentor to many, especially at Servpro.  One of his favorite sayings was, "there are no stupid questions, the only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked".  His door was always open to everyone and he was always willing to listen.  His loss is felt by many and he will be truly missed.
