David was an intelligent and kind man who was a hard worker in all his endeavors. He worked for Penn/Johnson Controls in Goshen as a factory manager for 42 years prior to retiring. David served in the United States Army for two years and attended several local Methodist churches with his wife.

In David’s spare time, he enjoyed the simple pleasures in life like going for walks in the woods alongside his wife, Nancy, traveling frequently to Michigan with family and friends, or simply just taking in nature’s beauty during his drives around the countryside. He was a strong man in every sense of the word; strong mentally, physically, and spiritually. David was a loyal husband, loving father and grandfather, and a friend to many.
