He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was the last surviving founding member of Camp Valley View in Potter County. He was able to make his last trip to the camp in the summer of 2020.
David and his wife enjoyed going on many trips with friends and their Friday-night card get togethers.
He is survived by two sons David Jr. (Carol) and Scott (Beverly) Sumney. David has six grandchildren, Jeff (Kim), Jason (Michael Lutz), David (Holly), TJ and Grace Sumney, and Bradley Parola. He also leaves behind five great-grandchildren, Matt, Luke, Amelia, Oliver, and Addilyn Sumney.
