After retiring, he received his Masters in Education from Loyola University, then spent 10 years as a civilian with the Department of Energy. After 30 years of federal service, David spent 20 years as a substitute teacher in Howard County – these years were the love of his life, along with golf, travel and the “Friday Club”.
