He attended Portland State University and then Lewis & Clark College for his law degree. He met Jeanne Godwin in the early ’70s. They were married in 1974. Using his law training, David decided to go into real estate, buying and selling medical offices and apartment houses. Jeanne worked with him at Wedge Investment. She passed away in 2005. Although David and Jeanne had no children, they hosted two foreign students, Miyuki and Kaya, through their high school and college.

David was a hiker and joined the Mazamas, leading rescue teams on Mt. Hood. He was soon teaching as much as he was climbing! He had also been a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club for many years.

David met Tica several years ago and they were married in 2010. They enjoyed entertaining, the arts and traveling, and were both sad that their time together was so short.

David is survived by his wife, Tica; sisters, Rosemarie Malroy (husband, Fred Malroy, is deceased), Sharon (Rick) Marsh and Shirley Sterr; nieces, Aletha (Tyler), Christina (Keith) and Monika Sterr; nephews, Jason Malroy, Eric (Kelly) Malroy, Sean Malroy and Jeff Marsh (deceased); stepchildren, Stacy (Paul), Nicole (Phillip) and Todd (Nina); great-nephews, Jeshua, Brett, Richard, Marcus, James and Charles; great-niece, Phinesa; Tica’s granddaughters, Bailey, Ryan, Madison, Brynn and Tess; and grandsons, Brady and Jackson.

A memorial to honor David’s life will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, November 23, 2014, at the MAC Club, 1849 S.W. Salmon Street, Portland, OR 97205.
