Dispatcher for The Union Pacific Railroad after 33 years of service. He was a veteran of the
Vietnam War and served in the Air Force as a Radio Intercept Operator. David was an amazing
artist and demonstrated his talent at a very young age. After realizing his dream of retiring on
the Pacific Northwestern coast he brushed some of the finest paintings he had ever put his
name to. David enjoyed spending time on the beach, especially at sunset, looking for driftwood
to put in his yard and images to put on canvas or simply watching the waves roll in brought him
peace. Dave was known for his quick smile and great sense of humor that always put anyone
he was around at ease. He loved to watch Giants baseball and 49er football games.

Funeral Mass will be held on Nov. 16, 2019, 10 am, at St. Mary Catholic Church, 4700
