David was a Shop Steward at MIT where he worked for over 20 years. He played Softball with his son “Hollywood” and son in law on the MIT Facilities Team until the age of 60. He enjoyed the outdoors, could often be seen riding his bike to work, or hiking around Fresh Pond with his many beloved dogs. His most enjoyment came from spending time with his grandchildren whenever possible, especially when they had a sporting event he could go to and cheer them on.
