David loved the outdoors. He loved to be in a canoe or out on the river fishing. A source of lifelong memories for the family are the camping trips they would go on. Travel was an immense joy to David as well, and something that he passed down to his kids. He loved to eat and enjoyed getting dressed up for fine dining on a Friday or Saturday night. David loved his dogs Buddy and Annie. More than anything though was David's love for his family. He had a strong will, and was an excellent provider and father, and grandfather.
