David was a Korean War Veteran and so proud of his military days. Always wearing his Korean cap everywhere, he went.

David was the best mechanic you can find. David owned a Gulf, Fina and Arco stations throughout his life.

David also enjoyed spending his time outside with his grill, meat and ribs were what he loved to bar-b-que and watching his San Antonio Spurs, and Raiders football team. He enjoyed working on his yard and it had to be immaculate.
