David touched many lives teaching 59 years at St. Paul’s Lutheran School. He enjoyed hearing from former students and was proud of their accomplishments. He was presented The Spiritus Christi Award on May 14, 2014 from his alma mater, Concordia University Chicago. His love of God and passion for music was evident in his organ playing, direction of choirs and holding the role of Director of Music for many years at St. Paul’s. He was a true Hoosier, rooting on the Indianapolis Colts and IU basketball. Nothing pleased him more than spending time with his family and rescue dog, May. We would like to thank the CVU staff and medical team at Community Hospital for their outstanding care and compassion shown to David and our family throughout the past month. In lieu of flowers, a memorial may be given to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church or School. Well done, thou good and faithful servant!
