“Important thing is not the me that's lying here, but the me that's sitting on the edge of the bed looking back at me, and the me that's downstairs out in the garage under the car, or in the library reading. All the new parts, they count. I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family."
Ray Bradbury (Dandelion Wine)
David was a gentle man who lived a simple life, and above all, had a deep love for his family and truly enjoyed family gatherings. He valued hard work, and had an eagerness to learn. There are so many things he loved in his life - European sports cars and the study of history, he had a strong passion for aviation and space. David spent hours tending his “miniature Arboretum” and especially enjoyed sitting under a tree in his hammock reading a book. He left us all way too soon and his passing leaves a major void in all our lives.
