He then transferred to Orange Unified School District for and worked for them 30 years before retiring. After his retirement he moved to Yucaipa, CA, to be close to his children & grandchildren. He was a member of the Church of The Nazarene for 43 years. David was a sociable person who never had a problem finding the common thread in people he met. He was able to hold a conversation that would last for hours. All they had to do was mention the Navy, the Angels, gospel and country music, and many other topics of interest. He enjoyed camping and swimming with the grandchildren. After retirement, David kept busy by fixing things around the house. He especially looked forward to Saturdays when he would take his grandsons, Josh and Jr., to local restaurants for their favorite breakfast of biscuits and gravy. He was a humorous person who loved to play jokes on people and to make them laugh. He always wanted everyone to have a smile on their face. David will be truly missed by all.

He leaves behind his wife, Regina Frye and his two daughters, Gayle George and Jennifer Collinsworth; six grandchildren; eight great-grandsons; three brothers and a sister.
