David was a homebody and a very direct person. He was generally quiet until you bothered him and then he would hit you with that dry wit that would have every body laughing. He was a self taught mechanic and a very good one at that. He liked growing things in the garden and was a good cook , too. David also liked to fish and if he was in the mood, he would treat you to his singing.
