I'll miss you David. We usually saw each other at election time, normally a tedious day, but you made it go so quickly. I will miss talking with you.
I always admired your honoring the importance of the day you your dress (tie, good shirt and trousers, highly polished shoes), willingness to help others, and attention to detail.

My vagabond buddy. Our hitchhike to the East Coast with gypsies, the wonderful people in Buf-falo who rescued us, touring empty Victorian homes in Lawrence - it was a great ride and I was honored to share it with you! I'll meet you on the other side. You live forever in my heart!
