David was a loving, caring, son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend with a great sense of humor and a heart of gold. He had been an avid bowler for years and a true Pittsburg Steelers fan.
 

David never met a stranger, or anyone who stayed a stranger for long; if he had and was given an opportunity to talk to you for a few minutes you became friends for life. He had a contagious deep down laugh that could be heard all over. He always greeted you with a kiss, a strong hand-shake and a bear hug. David loved life, he loved children and people and he truly loved his family. He will be remembered for his kindness, laughter and the immense love he had and shared with his family and friends.
