He was a graduate of Harrington High School where he received an NROTC scholarship to the University of Virginia, graduating with a degree in Finance.

He started with a charter boat business in Ocean City, Md.

He then got his port engineer's license to become a port engineer in the maritime industry. David is the son of the late Fred B. Greenly, Jr. and Bettye P. Greenly of Harrington. He is survived by his wife, Susan D. Mooney Greenly of Ocean View; his daughter, Laura Greenly of Harrington; grandson, Adam Sobiech; brother, Fred B.
