After his honorable discharge in 1969, David returned home to Hugo for several years and later made his home in Wright City in 1981 where he lived out his life. David loved his dogs and going on walks with them. He loved to help people around his church and would mow lawns for the older people in his community who were no longer able to get out and do it themselves. David often went out of his way to help anyone in need. He also enjoyed visiting and studying with the Jehovah’s Witness friends he made who would come by to share the good news of the Kingdom with him. David had a true heart of gold.
