He adored his dogs, who brought him unconditional love and companionship. They were his faithful friends, always by his side, sharing in his daily routines and adventures.

David is survived by his wife, Penny Cornett; daughters, Ginny and Sandra Crocker, Kristin Vinson (Adam); grandsons, Oliver and Arthur Vinson; beloved dogs, PD and Harley; and numerous extended family members.
