I met David Blauner three to four times, and remembered each and every time - he was that kind of a character. The first time I met David was at my brother George and Linda's pre-wedding getting to know each other dinner. It was there that we learned about David's near-death experience, but even more astonishing was the story of how David and Shirley had to suddenly take in and raise three children because of a tragedy involving Shirley's brother and wife.
The last time I saw David was at Sydney's bat mitzvah. My wife Alison and I were driving David and Vicki somewhere, and he had us in stitches the whole time. He will be missed.
