He loved sports and was an ardent Tulsa University football fan, never missing a home game with his dad. Dave also loved buying and selling antiques and collectibles, cooking, watching movies, listening to music and singing along, and literally had the gift of gab, able to converse with people from all walks of life about a multitude of topics.
