Hockey was the sport of choice for David. He followed the Bruins faithfully and never missed a game on TV. He was also an avid baseball and football fan, but it was truly the hockey that kept him close to the TV.
A very friendly and happy person, David always enjoyed a good conversation with those he would meet during his walks. A very good natured man David always enjoyed being able to help others out, however he could.
