So sorry to read of David's passing. My condolences to all who loved him. We were in the same grade. One day after WJH gym class, someone bigger than this still-skinny kid started to bully me big time. Just then David, tall, square-shouldered, and solid, came around the corner, saw it, and just said, "Leave him alone". He sounded serious. They went away. I didn't know he ever noticed me--just said an occasional hi. Before there was ever a campaign to stop bullying, he had it down. My thanks.
