He retired from United after 40 years this past year. David also ran D&D Tractor for many years. It was a family business that at many times had his son David, son-in-law John, and grandson John-John helping out.
Dave always had a smile on his face for anyone and loved to joke around with people. He coached many years at North Clark Little League in Clark County Washington shere his children played ball. He loved being with his children and grandchildren.
