He had a beautiful tenor voice and loved to sing in various community choruses. He and his wife, Vesta, enjoyed singing in duets for many years throughout the area. David played the trombone in the Wm. F. Myers & Sons Band for 40 years. He enjoyed attending community concerts, shows and anything musical.
