David enjoyed collecting stamps and coins, fishing, camping, gardening and being with his family. He was a real do-it-yourselfer and was always fixing something, whether it was a car, an appliance or whatever.
When David’s medical needs became to much for his family to handle, we were thankful to have The Villa and for the great care they provided to Dad, and later to Mom before her death. We’re so grateful to all of the employees there and all they did to make their lives as comfortable as possible.
