David had a vast array of talents that he utilized throughout his professional career. A carpenter by trade, David operated Perry Construction, worked as a coal miner, and ran the Scofield Boat Camp during its heyday. With his wife, Hazel, of 52 years by his side they had many great adventures. Dave was very knowledgeable in many capacities and had an incredible sense of humor.
