In all the years I knew David I only saw him wear long pants twice. Once at his wedding & the other time when he played a rabbi in "Fiddler on the Roof." I couldn´t believe he could wear shorts in the dead of winter, even in Monterey!

Now cracks a noble heart. Goodnight sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Gone too soon. I´ll cherish the memories of happy times and holidays spent playing cards and cracking jokes. Hug your family and never forget to tell them how much they mean to you, because you never know when they will be gone
