May 16, 1948 - July 31, 1990

While indeed it is now the twentieth anniversary of my having lost contact with you at the start of the 1980s. Thus, by comparison, it has only been a matter of days, wherein my knowledge of your passing was to be. Memories of you shall forever be (via Hawaii) that of an incredibly innocent, naive, sincere, caring, and sensitive creature.

It had been the latter virtues, which afforded my deep love for you. Given we shared our love and home here at the start of the 1970s, the golden era of San Francisco, appropriately, you should indeed be acknowledged as such,

Here in San Francisco. Aloha, sweet, sweet David.

Others lost from the golden era, 

but not forgotten:

Curt Pilatz

Billy (Sir William Harvey)

Dec  '90 or Jan '91
