David was a man who filled the room when he entered with a smile and demeanor that made you want to know him.
He graduated from Honeoye Falls High School in 1963, started college and then left to serve honorably in the United States Air Force.
For 23 years he was a proud member of the Oakland Police Force in California where he suffered multiple injuries attesting to the hazardous nature of the work. In August,1969 he worked as Security for the Mayor of Oakland in which position he also provided security for a number of visiting dignitaries, including the Queen of England, two Presidents, one Vice President and a variety of other public officials.
Over the years he taught classes on community and police relations for the Oakland Public Schools and the Oakland National Guard. He worked as an official for the Senior Citizens Olympics and the Handicapped Olympics. He was also a coach for many Little League teams.
After retiring he started his own lawn care business, A Lad'n'Dad, working with his son who took over the business when David went to work for D W Morgan, a freight company, headquartered in California where he was in charge of marketing and traveled the world representing that company.
He retired officially in 2003 when David, and his wife Linda, moved back to New York with Texas Long Horn cattle and horses to a property in Livonia, NY.
As David wished there wil be no funeral service or visitation. Burial will be determined at a later date.
