He spent time with his family traveling, camping, and doing projects. He also enjoyed his hobbies. Their large family of animals included dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, ducks, and turtles. David always enjoyed the upkeep and hard work of a farm. He loved working outdoors, driving motor vehicles especially tractors, flying, and reading good thrilling stories.
