Music was also an important part of his life, and over the years he enjoyed collecting vinyl records and listening to the music he loved. David also had a particular fondness for Mercedes automobiles.

Whether it was photography, music, cars, scuba diving, or one of his other interests, David enjoyed learning about the things that caught his attention and pursuing the hobbies that brought him enjoyment.
