While employed, he worked for Schmidt, Burns, Pinkerton, and other companies. He was best known as a kind, friendly, jovial person who thoroughly enjoyed helping customers.

In his spare time, he and his brother bred tropical fish for over 40 years and supplied many local pet shops and wholesalers between Milwaukee and Chicago. He had also been a former member of the Kenosha Chapter of the Knight of Columbus.

David is survived by his brother, Tom; his beloved furry friend, Bailey; numerous cousins, and family friend, Juan Villareal. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and a special cousin, Cathy Rochau.
