David will be missed by all the good friends he accumulated over his life, including his classmates of B.E.A. class of 1966. He acquired many long-term trucker friends over a 54 year span. He pride himself on being a gentleman trucker and drove in all the lower 48 states. He was mostly proud of his family. He was of the Protestant faith. David enjoyed gardening, John Deere antique tractors, jet skiing, and reading to his grandchildren. His grandchildren were the light of his life. His last job was driving for Triple E Homes owned by the Esh family. He loved his job and his time with them.
A Celebration of Life will be scheduled for early spring, under his beloved Weeping Cherry tree at his home in Walker Twp. The family would like to thank the Mount Nittany ER for their excellent and compassionate care the day of his passing! Great job in difficult times.
