David (Dave to folks not from Milltown) and Sharon married in the summer of 1967 and went on to have three lovely daughters.Amazingly,these daughters did very well academically but never managed to bring home or marry fellows whom their father liked or approved. Truth be known,it wouldn't have mattered whom they brought home or married, he wouldn't have liked them as "NO ONE" was good enough for any of his daughters. His mother, Kathleen, said 'The worst thing I ever did was to send that boy to a Catholic University'. Strong words from a died in the wool Catholic lady and a pillar of the Church.

Throughout his working career,David moved around several districts and finally found his little niche in Perth- Andover in teaching music/band which he did for many years. He was always musical, a talent he inherited from his mother. He had also played with Harry Rigby and the Thomists throughout his university years. Probably,the hi-lite of his career, was in taking his high school band to play at Disney in Florida the year he retired in 1996. A lot of the kids and their parents had never been out of Perth-Andover. Half the Village went to Florida that year.

David also had a community band for many years where he played up and down the river in various parades throughout the summers. This only came to a halt when he had a triple by-pass in the summer of 2007.
