You would often hear him say he didn’t just like his job, he loved it. Both Clients and Employers knew that David made the impossible happen and they grew to depend on his daring side. Along with trucking his other passion was playing his guitar. He tried to never miss a Church service and clients understood and waited till after service for their jobs.
