In memory of a great pal.

It is oft-quoted that one never improves unless one looks to some standard or example higher and better than oneself. David set that yardstick for us to aspire to. I am grateful for having known him for nearly forty years, for his influence on me and the love that he gave to my family. He will be sorely missed by us all. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints in the sands of time. (Longfellow)
