very early age how to work well and hard. He held membership in the
International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craft Workers for over fifty
years and still held membership in that Union at his death. David's greatest
joys were being a gentleman farmer of five acres in West Jordan, raising and
racing his quarter horses, his dog Mitzi and ballroom dancing. David was a
very private person. He never married but saw to the comfort of his beloved
widowed mother until her death in 1982. He was a man of courage and integrity
never complaining nor shirking his responsibilities in life. He will be sorely
missed by those of us who loved him. He is survived by a brother, Raymond
(Louise) of West Jordan, whom he loved unconditionally all the days of his
life and in death.
