Dear Linda: So sorry for the passing of David. Boy oh boy what a pleasure it was for me to have known him for the last 50 some years. He will always have a warm spot in my heart. I am so sorry to miss his service of reminiscence and celebration at EUC. Im still in BC. God Bless you. I know it has been hard for you lately and there will be a big void for you. I hope friends and family can help fill a little bit of that.
