David was born on February 27, 1939 in Vale, VA. Nicknamed “Smiley” in his youth because of his ever-present grin, David’s greatest joy and source of pride was his family.
David was preceded in death by his wife, Helen; father, Ernest; mother, Clara; brother, Ernest Jr.; and sister, Mary. He is survived by his brother, Charles; three children, Mary (Danny), Susan (Mark), Barbara (Kevin); five grandchildren, Sam (Peanut), Scott (Bubba), Megan (Girlfriend), Ian (Buckshot) and Jack (Grasshopper); and numerous beloved nieces and nephews.
He loved animals, dancing, fishing, music, car racing and cooking. He was happiest at home preparing food for his family and telling anyone who would listen about his grandchildren.
His family will miss his unwavering love and support.
A graveside service will be held Monday, May 10 at 11 a.m. at National Memorial Cemetery and Funeral Home at 7482 Lee Highway, Falls Church, VA.
Family and friends should gather at the cemetery’s funeral home at 10:45 a.m. to join the procession to the gravesite.
