David was a mellow cruiser with a great attitude towards life. He never took things too seriously, and was not short of unique phrases and lingo. With a laugh you could always recognize, and his great sense of humor, he knew how to have a good time and make people smile.

Important to David were his three children, Sam, Ben and Kaylee and his Mother, Jane and Sister, Suzie. In the summer you could find him on Lake Minnewashta augering the chain on his Ski Nautique. Waterskiing and enjoying the lake with friends and family, and always accompanied by his yellow lab, Tug.
