Thoughtful, gentle, modest, quiet, inquisitive, strong, generous, funny, steady, loving. Dave devoted most of his life to the art of being open and engaged. He was a deeply embodied person, curious about the meaning of things and the words to describe them. He was most at ease in the natural world, where he is buried next to three of his dogs.
