On January 9, 1959, David married the love of his life, Linda. Together, they celebrated over 64 years of marriage. David served 8 years in the National Guard. He worked for the Porter Company for more than 35 years. He raised his 3 children in the North Austin neighborhood of North Acres. David spent much of his free time supporting their extra-curricular activities. This support continued to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He and his family were Charter members of Holy Word Lutheran Church. He loved spending time on the various farms with his cattle and horses. After retirement they decided to travel in their motorcoach and see the country. During these 10 plus years they made many lifelong friendships. The time spent volunteering with the COE at Lake Georgetown was his favorite.
