For nearly a century, David
lived a life embodied by hard

A proud WWII veteran, David
lived by the ideals of our coun-

He was a 45-year salaried

Company (and more as a con-
sultant after retirement). David
played softball well into his 80s,
recounting recently his time on
the field as “some of the best
times of his life.
” His greatest life
accomplishment was his family.
