Not sure what to say?

Linda- my heart goes out to you! David was so fortunate to have you in his life. I'm here to help in any way.

So sorry to hear of his passing. Dave took me under his wing and mentored me back in 1980 when old growth redwoods were slated to be logged next door to me. Due to his guidance, we were able to get them permanently protected as state parklands. His knowledge and tutoring were invaluable and set me on a path of forest protection ever since. He will be missed. Condolences to Linda and his family.

Linda and family: I cared for Mr. Bockman for a short time while employed with LifeSpan. He always emphasized how important it was to take care of our planet. Because of him, I started to compost all my food scraps and still do. I enjoyed our trips to The Buttery and Silver Spur. I will always have fond memories of him. Please accept my deepest condolences

Uncle Dave's gentle soul will be missed by all our family. The Santa Cruz Community was fortunate to have David a part of it. Blessings to Linda during this sad time. We can take comfort that Dave, Ted and their parents are together again.
