David’s career took him to Michigan, King-Seely Corp., New Mexico working atop oil rigs, operating heavy equipment on the construction of KY Green River Reservoir, & building Gene Snyder freeway. He retired from Ford KY Truck Plant in 2001 after 32 years’ service.
After retirement, David & Linda became “Snowbirds” in Florida, where he became everyone’s favorite neighbor & he could finally fish as much as he wanted, even once pulling a 12 ft. gator out of his dock.
David was happiest in the woods digging ginseng. He grew BIG gardens, enjoyed fishing, hunting & LOVED to travel. But… he was best known for practical jokes, telling tall-tales and his generosity to those he knew, and didn’t know, alike.
Everyone who loved him has a story… or ten. Please share those at his online memorial https://rw.mem.com/display/8846311 and help us celebrate his life & all the times we laughed because of him.
