He was born November 22, 1932 in Jamestown, Rhode Island, the youngest son of the late John Elliott and Pauline (Boone) Walsh.

David left Jamestown, RI after high school for college at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He was a true Gators fan and enjoyed watching them play football.

He moved to Etters, Pennsylvania in 1981 to take on new responsibilities for the water company where he retired in 1995 while still young enough to enjoy life.


He was a great husband, father, grandfather and friend to many. He truly enjoyed golfing and leaving the cold winter for a few months in Florida. He was a faithful member of the Brandywine Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.
