During his banking career he served as President of the Delaware Association of Bank Security. David graduated from Dickinson High School in 1964. While there he was active in student council, baseball and tennis. After graduation he served as a member of the planning committee of each of his class reunions. Keeping in touch with his Dickinson family was a high priority. He graduated from Mars Hill College in 1969 with a degree in business and finance. In 1988 he graduated from the National School of Banking, in Fairfield, CT. David was an avid traveler, reader, woodworker, car enthusiast, photographer and artist. His interest in art led him to serve for several years as president of the Center for Creative Arts in Yorklyn, DE. He especially enjoyed spending winters in Florida and summers with his Rehoboth “Beach Family”. But his greatest pleasure was spending time with his immediate family. David was an active member of Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, DE for over 50 years. He was ordained an elder in the church at the age of 28.
