The past few years I was lucky enough to get to know David as a friend. Peut-il reposer en paix.

You beat me into this world by a day and here you go again, being first in one of life's great adventures. The Four Horsemen will always have a beer ready for you. You are missed.

So many great memories of long, funny, passionate conversations in Sequim in late July, for many years. We'll miss your great sense of humor and warm, genuine personality David.
