David owned and operated his family's business, Ralph Therrien & Son Quality Painting, which was established by his father in 1950, the same year David was born. Over the years he became known as both a fine craftsman and artist due to his meticulous attention to detail and his expertise in customizing colors and finishes for his clients. Projects include work in countless elegant homes and institutions such as The Manchester City Library, First Congregational Church, The General John Stark house, and several other important and historic buildings. The family business continues today with his son, David R. Therrien.

David loved fast cars. He typically had a unique sports car to drive. He also had a love and appreciation for classic cars and was given multiple awards for his immaculate restoration of collectible vehicles.

David was a very generous, fun, kind, and thoughtful person. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and was loved by so many people.
