He worked many years as a heavy equipment operator for Bettensons and loved operating his “toys”. He was a faithful Toronto Maple Leaf fan and watched his WWE show every week. David also loved being outdoors relaxing with his fur babies and watching his grandchildren play. Many happy hours were spent looking at the mountains and breathing the fresh country air.
