David’s first and only job after graduating MIT was for the Dupont Corporation where he spent the next 31 years in various position starting as a Research Chemist and retiring as Global Technology Manager.
Although his favorite activity was preaching and teaching with the Bible, as we all know when he could he would escape for a round of golf, he would swing at the opportunity; as all his fleshly brothers and sister would know. He taught his wife to play tennis and shared the love of this sport with her which was find until her enjoyment of the sport exceeded his. He also enjoyed basketball and still could take on the young ones in a game of one on one and win…
David had many accolades in his professional career, but what he truly considered as achievements were his spiritual goals and attainments.
