With David leaving, there is a huge void for Julie and I. He was a friend,
a smart, knowledgable and compassionate man. He was a man, a mensch! This is a man who read, thought, cared for his friends and family and was in love with life and loved to laugh. He had charity that gave him rank with Mimonedes at the highest level. He and Nancy loved and made our community better. He is like the stars not seen by day but you know they are there. So is his spirit and his memory. He will live in our hearts for as long as life itself. I really miss this guy!
