David was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Sports Teams.  He enjoyed playing golf with his dad, walking the family dog, listening to music and playing the guitar and introducing the sport of Lacrosse to his son, but he truly cherished the time he spent with his wife and their two children Lillyanna and Oliver.  David will be greatly missed, but eternally loved and remembered by everyone who had the pleasure to have been in his life and loved by him.

In addition to his wife Bronwen and his parents Michael and Carolyn, David is survived by his adoring and loving children: Lillyanna A. and Oliver S. Bense, his brother Scott M. Bense, and his sister Kelly A. Smyth.  He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
