Not sure what to say?

I had just moved to Chicago from LA in 1985. I was still fairly new in AA with only 2 years of sobriety, alone and in a new city. I met David in one of my first AA meeting there. He immediately made me feel welcome and treated me as an old friend. In short he was a friend when I desperately needed a friend. That was the kind of guy he was. I will always remember his goodness and kindness.

Thank you for being there for me!

Our hearts are sadden to learn of your loss.
