David was dedicated to helping his daughters receive an excellent education and started them on their way by guiding their progress in computer sciences. He enthusiastically supported them in their early soccer, music, and art activities and was very proud to see them both graduate from college and start their careers.

David’s love of roller coasters found them traveling to amusement parks across the country. His interest in astronomy and fascination with eclipses kept them looking upward in their travels. As an avid science fiction fan, he enjoyed Star Trek reruns and had started to write his own sci-fi novel. David was known for turning comments in a conversation into puns which was sometimes frustrating but always endearing.
