To Bill & Andy, I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing. My condolences to you both on the loss of Mary Lyle and Carolyn, too. I have so many good memories of spending time with the whole Eagleson family, especially the silver poodle gang. My best to you always.

I want to send my sympathies to both family and friends concerning David's passing. Our family has been his neighbor to the east since the 1970s. Although we weren't there very often I recall his hospitality shown by having us out on his boat with of course cocktails and interesting conversation. My husband William and I had a very nice visit with him last spring at which time he was still as quick witted as ever. I know you all will miss him. Please know that we would be interested in the property there seeing that it adjoins ours. We own 'the pink house'. Again my condolences to all.
