After high school joined the US Army served several tours and was wounded while serving with decorated honor in Vietnam. After returning to the States from Vietnam he lived in Florida and went to court reporting school. He moved to Mobile, Alabama and worked as a court reporter for many years. A life long rockhound and lapidary. He was a member of the Mobile Rock and Gem Club. For many years he was the gemstone and crystal person at the Mobile Flea Market where he was well known for his hand carved, world class gemstones, generously shared gem and mineral knowledge, wry sense of humor, generosity, artistic eye and delightful stories. Paul David moved in 2004 from Mobile to Bailey, Colorado and was living in Greeley with his beloved Aunt Susan Mundine and Uncle Edd Mundine at the time of his passing. His ashes are to be scattered at the Oh, My God pass in the Rocky Mountains. He will be missed and celebrated every time I find, collect, cut or enjoy a stone.jades netsuke rare agates cut and polished by Master Lapidary artist David Morell The pleasure and satisfaction of a lifetime awaits you...
