He attended the University of Dayton with studies in Accounting.  David was an associate at The Dayton Biltmore Hotel.  There he met his treasured and beloved wife of 60 years, Mary Beth (Welsh)McBride.  After their first date at a picture show, West Side Story, a loving courtship began.  David and Mary Beth were married on October 21, 1961 at Corpus Christi Church.  The young couple lived in Kettering, Ohio, made a move to Coshocton, Ohio, and then chose Sidney, Ohio to raise their four children.  David leaves behind to cherish his memory, his wife, Mary Beth and four children, Dennis, Doug, Elizabeth, and Kristine.  Dennis and wife Brenda reside in Beavercreek, Ohio.  Doug and wife Julie reside in Wapakoneta, Ohio.  Elizabeth and husband Joel reside in Elida, Ohio.

David was preceded in death by 2 brothers, Charles and Richard, and sister, Barbara.

David continued his career in Accounting at Towers Communication, which led to his ownership at Norseman Cable Company in Northwest Ohio.  David owned various businesses, which ultimately led to his true passion for antiques, with the Country Closet Barn in Anna, Ohio.  Patrons would be welcomed with explanations and stories of antiques and rare items.  David became a well-known source of knowledge for past treasures and things forgotten. David dedicated many years as a coach and a volunteer at Lehman Catholic High School. During those years David impacted countless students, parents and faculty with his enthusiasm and uncompromising spirit.  Most fall Sundays David could be found watching football and his favorite team, The Pittsburgh Steelers.
