Dave's favorite role was that of a grandparent, treasuring his time with his grandkids, Harrison, Coleson, and Lilly, and loved being their Pappy.
Everyone who knew Dave, knew how much he loved music, especially The Beatles. He also loved the beach, Pittsburgh Steelers, and driving his Corvette. He will always be remembered for his wittiness and the way he loved to make people smile.
