David and Sally loved to travel as evident by all the "things" they have collected over the years.

He was indeed the ultimate family man, and will be missed by all who knew him.
David had a love affair with the ocean; to honor his wishes, family and friends will gather in Long Beach, California to celebrate his life. The family will extend personal invitations to the gathering in an effort to keep the service at a small, intimate level, just as David had wished. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
