Educated in the public schools of Dougherty County, he graduated from Monroe High School in 1969.  He was employed at the Albany Plant of Proctor and Gamble Paper Products for many years until retirement. David was a true entrepreneur; he opened a detail shop and would make sure your car was clean as a whistle.
