He also lived and worked in Mascot for A.S.A.R.C.O. in the zinc mines. David enjoyed the “Braves” and his western novels. He valued and treasured his relationship with Jesus Christ and he was a member of Salem Baptist Church. The thing he loved most was his wife and family and by extension anyone who was a friend of any one of his family. He never met a stranger, and you never knew what he might say and he had a big, big heart.
