David worked for many years as a maintenance engineer for a power company in Montana. David was known to be happiest while singing in choirs or solo in church, and especially enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He loved developing large gardens producing vegetables for himself and friends. His garden provided the opportunity to operate his tractor, yet another of his loves of mechanical things.
