David is preceded in death by his grandparents, Winnifred Frances and Clarence Edward Montgomery from Cherokee, IA, and Mary Helen and Ernest Emanuel Bastady of Exeter, CA. He enjoyed observing the daily seasonal operations for the family citrus ranches. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about spraying, irrigating, pruning, permits, and pack-outs. The highlight of his day would be riding to Exeter to view the orange groves and stopping for lunch on the way home. He was the problem solver for computer and electronic devices. Holidays, birthdays, and trips to Morro Bay, Iowa and South Dakota to visit family and friends were very important to David. He was always friendly, thoughtful of others and generous.
