Brother-in-law to George, Elizabeth, David (Amy) and Mary (Mike) Perkins. Further survived by so many other loving relatives and friends.
Born and raised in Manitowoc, WI, David attended Roncalli High School before receiving his undergraduate degree from Creighton University in Nebraska. He went on to earn his MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Applied Security Analysis Program. David enjoyed and cherished a career that spanned over 30 years with Robert W. Baird. While at Baird, he took great pride in mentoring those that worked with him.
David loved traveling the world for work and for pleasure, but spending time with his extensive family was his greatest joy. Cooking and gardening are special talents that not all knew he possessed. David was a loyal Brewer fan attending Brewer games as often as his schedule allowed. Following his passion to mentor, David in recent years became a Boy Scout Leader.
