I met David my junior year at the C of C. I walked into class and asked him what we did in chemistry lab last week. He said, "I don't know man, I wasn't here either". We started talking and found out that we both surfed and a friendship was born. We bought our first boat together, shared and apartment, fished, partied, and dove together for the next 45 years. He will be missed by us and by the universe as a whole. But hopefully his memory will be of comfort to us all. Most especially, Pennie and his family.
