I knew Dave for a very brief two years - he was instrumental in my return to Church and sat through my first service with me His unbiased, thoughtful, kind and generous spirit was a blessing to all of us who laughed and cried with him . A very , very kind man who tempered pragmatism with compassion - I miss your ChatGPT explorations and am thinking of that sunny summers day in your garden Dave, you did so much and you leave us with a huge gap in our hearts and our worlds You always stepped forward to help selflessly with kindness and grace-
