He loved sports of all kinds. In high school he played football, golf and tennis and continued playing and teaching tennis as an adult. David was a gifted drummer and played in a few jazz bands in college. He had a passion for sailing and spent as much time as he could at the lake. His latest interest was going to the shooting range, he enjoyed that very much. However, by far, his greatest enjoyment in life was spending as much time as he could with his two children and being with friends.

David was a wonderful dad and deeply devoted to his two children, Jason Black of Topeka and Taylor Black of Lenexa.
