David served six years in the Navy and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. He made several life long friends while in the Navy/ college who raised their families in Tampa and made many wonderful memories together.

David's engineering career included employment at Texas Instruments Dallas, Honeywell Tampa Honeywell Clearwater; E-Systems St. Petersburg and Group Technologies Tampa.

David loved music. His extensive vinyl collection includes every genre. At the end of every day, he could be found sitting in his easy chair or beach chair, toe tapping, while blasting sounds from the past.

He was an accomplished handyman. He and Patti loved nothing more than to dream up projects and spend years almost finishing them.

He will be missed forever.
