He enjoyed attending sporting events, both professional and those played by his kids. David loved to attend the "Big Event" and enjoyed watching golf on TV and teeing it up on a sunny afternoon. With his faithful "Tiny" close by, David could often be found working on a real estate deal or guiding the family business. He was devoted to his family and friends, and always found the joy in life, which he shared with those around him.
