David was an avid outdoorsman he cherished hunting and saltwater fishing often returning from every trip with stories that captivated family and friends. He was a master craftsman, a true jack of all trades. A man of remarkable skill and patience, he was a perfectionist in every task he undertook, whether repairing engines, renovating his home, or tackling any project big or small.
