  2. David was one of the most unique men who loved his family and would do anything to entertain them and make them happy! He loved to decorate his home for Christmas and take trips with his family. He loved to share his lemons We have made many desserts (pies) made with them. He will be missed by all who knew them. He would do anything to help someone in need. He loved God, Gail and his family.
