David was a special man with a gentle soul. He devoted his life to his wife and children. His personal

passion was as a wordsmith and as such took joy in writing songs, poetry and books, as well as public speaking. He was an Officer in several Orlando area Toastmaster's clubs and mentored the development

of many. In addition he played guitar, was an avid photographer, practiced Karate and enjoyed hiking and nature.

There are no services yet planned, at a future time we will have a memorial service at a military cemetery yet to be determined. The family requests no flowers. If anyone wishes to assist the children through this difficult time, please contact his sister Barbara.
