Just another of our infinitely weird inside jokes.
/And we’d laugh like soft, mad children, smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
RIP and Godspeed...

Oh good grief.
If I was in a funk and not communicative, he used to spam me with those things until I got annoyed enough to answer.
I cannot believe I’ll miss *that*.
I’m officially on the Mongolian throat singing wagon. David made me a believer.
Oh no! David was one of the reasons I enjoy FR so much.
A delightful gentleman.
I will miss his special gift, his wit.
God Bless your immortal soul, David. Your beautiful soul touched us in the most positive ways.
Godspeed.
WoW! shubimi ! Prayers for God’s peace.
I'm so sorry.
Prayers for David (Shibumi) and all who loved him are on the way."Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone."
