Born in Des Moines, Idaho, in 1953, David enlisted in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam Era, where he served as a radio operator. Moving on to civilian life, he was a disc jockey in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, before moving to Dallas, Texas, where he began his career in the manufacturing/mining industry. He was employed at Ingersoll-Rand for 30 years, then with Cate Equipment/Atlas Copco/Epiroc for 17 years, retiring as parts manager at Epiroc in Gillette earlier this year. Preferring small town life, David was an outdoorsman who enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing, pets, and critters. He was always ready to host by fixing an awesome brisket or some reward from a hunt. Family was very important to him throughout his life. He loved to visit, be visited, or get updated on the phone. David is survived by his wife Lori; children Michelle (Marc), David, Shawn, and Daniel (Kelsie); and granddaughter Ava. The management and staff of WWDR extend their sympathies to George’s and David’s family and friends. Lest we forget... 28 AUGUST 2019 WorldWide Drilling Resource ®
