David was a mentor to his stepdaughter Kendal Mitchell-Martin when he and Marian Mitchell were together for many years. Although never tying the proverbial knot but staying lifetime friends. His love for Kendall never waivered and he was instrumental in molding her into the women she is today.

David was the type of person to argue you down over the most trivialist matters and always had to be right, but that was David. He loved to bowl and listen to jazz. He also loved to read novels and research anything he had an interest in but didn’t know about. He could do most handyman work and had a tool for everything. Many times, we called him Inspector Gadget.

David went to many black-tie affairs, fashion shows and always had a beautiful lady on his arm.
