David was born in Greensboro on September 16,

firm, and they retired from that business in 2010.
David and Dawn, his devoted wife of 27 years, were
able to spend many years traveling the United
States in their motor home. David also traveled
many miles on his motorcycle and scooter with his
great group of friends. No one can express the
loving kindness and support that David showed to
his family and friends. He was always available to
help, to lead or to provide to those he loved and
to those who loved him. He leaves a lasting
impression to continue his example.
