Box 356 El Reno, OK 73036 (Memo David Airington) Dave never missed a game, dance recital, birthdays, Christmas program or a Sooners game if he could help it. Dave loved his Sooners and the New York Yankees. He was described as having a big heart, a great smile, loved his family the most, selfless and a Samaritan attitude. Our favorite memories will always be OU games, Christmas, his sweet laugh, and caring for others. I think anyone would say his proudest accomplishments would be his family, retiring from FCI and always working hard to provide for his family. His favorite things are his kids and grandkids, Sooner football, reading the newspaper, babysitting his grandkids and Andy Griffith.
