David loved history and was an avid sports fan (a 50 year Patriots Season Ticket holder).  He enjoyed living by the water and treasured the charm and beauty of Cohasset. He loved watching his children play sports from little league (where he also coached) throughout high school. David was truly a caring and generous person. He had a wonderful wit and a genuine personality. Services and interment were private. In lieu of flowers, donations to honor David may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, https://www.alz.org/.
