David worked at Panhandle Eastern for 33 years retiring in 2010.

David was a man of many talents and interests. He had the attitude of “I CAN DO” anything and usually he could! He loved to hunt birds, golf balls, and mushrooms! David loved fishing, golfing, Chili Bowl racing, basketball, bowling and of course, working on his 1974 old green truck which he and his wife Loree proudly “showed off” in this year’s Labor Day Parade. David was an avid sports enthusiast, rooting on his favorite teams, the Chiefs, Royals, KU Jayhawks, Nebraska Huskers football, and of course the Louisburg Wildcats! David enjoyed playing softball for many years with a group of his buddies on the Simba softball team, creating a lifetime of memories and friends. You could always find David and Loree cheering on their friends and family’s children at their sporting events

David will be remembered for the many endearing qualities that he was so well known for: he was kind, generous, always smiling, and had an ornery sense of humor! Loree could always find David whenever she needed to.. She just had to listen for his whistle!
