I never had the privilege to meet David Swain but I work for the non-profit he donated money the very week he passed away. I spent all of Monday helping to put a new roof on a home that was badly leaking. Thanks to the Swain's family generosity a whole family is now safer and drier. What a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
