Another good man gone to his reward. A mournful day for us, a glorious day for him.

Imagine the Poet’s Corner in Heaven ...

He was quiet about all that

Rest in Peace David. You were a hilarious guy and I enjoyed speaking with you on the phone a couple time.

May God provide solace and warmth to his loved ones.

Good bye dear friend and see you on the other side

You were top ten funny and elite smart.

Yes he was.

He was serious on the issues, yet he always tried to see the funny side of things.

Checking back over some of his last few images that he posted...he'll be missed.

RIP

Calling for help!



Aid will come
from the giant
Gypsy Mothra.

(As soon as she finishes her stripper act.
as "Gypsy Rose Mothra.")

(Don't pretend this makes any sense. Just roll with it.)
