They moved to Goleta in 1969, where they raised their five children – Michelle, Mark, Kevin, Kimberly, and Jennifer. He was a teacher, teaching math and Spanish at Goleta Valley Junior High for many years. David was a kind, gentle, and loving father. He was a very fun grandpa and loved playing with and supporting his nine grandchildren – Samantha, Jaron, Shane, Hayden, Joshua, Taylor, Kendall, Nicole, and Kaylin. David was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served faithfully for many years. In their later years David and Kathy served in the Los Angeles Temple which was a joy to them. They were married for 60 years on earth and are together for eternity. He is now at peace and having a wonderful reunion with his wife, granddaughter, parents, and brother.
