I new David from his life that he had in Edgewood. I was friends with his daughter Dana.

We shared an odd sence of humor that resulted in me always being refered to by him as "Bishop" and him being known by me as "Pope". This being derived from one of his many off the wall jokes that he would tell me when I would vist Dana. After all the time that has passed since I saw him last....I still remember that bit.

Very sorry for your loss.
