David grew up and attended Ohatchee High school where he loved all sports but especially basketball and football. Out of high school he joined the Navy and served during the Korean War. After getting out of the service, he started working for Dupont and lived in Salem, New Jersey where he met his lovely wife, Agnes. They got married and moved back to Alabama to be close to his family and he started his career working for Monsanto Chemical Company. After 29 years working for the company, he retired and did some consulting work on the side. He and Agnes enjoyed being a part of both Ohatchee United Methodist Church and St. Marks United Methodist Church for many years. Since friends and family were very important to him, he loved playing golf with his friends and spending time with his family. He never went anywhere that he did not know someone, and he always had a smile on his face.
In lieu of flowers please make donations to either Ohatchee United Methodist Church or St. Marks United Methodist Church.
