David was born December 4, 1937 in Cortland, the son of the late Sanford W. and Marian J. Beaumont McCarty.

A lifelong resident of the Groton area, Dave was an expert at doing auto body work and painting vehicles. He had started his own business, Dave's Auto Service, on Main Street, Groton and moved to its' present location on Route 222 in 1968, where his son, Paul continues to operate the shop and continue the fine reputation they have earned.

An avid car enthusiast, Dave belonged to just about all the car clubs in the area, personally owning many antique and classic vehicles, taking them to shows and exhibits.
