David was a part of the first four year graduate class of Garces Memorial High School of 1951. He was a proud member of the Garces High football and baseball teams as well as a Ram fan throughout the years and continued his loyalty as a sports enthusiast. After graduating high school, David joined the Air Force to serve his country during the Korean War. A true patriot! Soon after, David met the love of his life, Katherine, on New Years Eve in 1951; it was love at first sight. David and Katherine married in 1956 and have shared their lives, love, and joy for over 50 years. Working in the retail grocery business for over 40 years, David also found enjoyment by spending time with his family. Many of these special memories include outings with his family such as barbequing at the park, hiking on camping trips, or swimming in the ocean. In addition, David also enjoyed traveling. Whether it was a short trip to Las Vegas to play the slots, L.A. for a Dodger game, Lake Tahoe in the summer, or long trips to fulfill his strong Catholic faith by traveling abroad to Medugorje and the Vatican, David was always ready to go. David is survived by his loving, devoted wife Katherine; his 4 sisters: Sister Maria Guadalupe, Alex, Flora and Theresa; his 8 children; David, Rosanne, Gerry, Larry, Henry, Michael, Patricia, Alan; and his 22 grandchildren. Thank you Dad and Grandpa for all the wonderful memories and the faith you instilled upon us. You will always be in our hearts.
