posted January 10, 2022Dear Linda, I was so shocked and devastated when I received your call last Thursday, informing me of David’s death. I’m so sorry for your loss. I was on the phone with David only a week ago, making plans for the two of you to come to Scarborough and stay with Nancy and I for a weekend this month.
David and I have known each other since we met in college 54 years ago. We became best of friends and fraternity brothers. David and I always shared a passion for cars. I can remember selling him at least four of my cars over the years, including the Volvo that you (Linda) drives today.. He always said I got the better of him on the deals, but that was David. All of our conversations and encounters were full of laughter and story telling about the past, most of which shouldn’t and won’t be repeated. David would tell others that we had the same father (to prove were related), I think it was suppose to be a wild and crazy pilot from the Brunswick Naval Air Station. If that were true, it would explain how David lived and loved life!
I’m going to miss him for the rest of my life.
