I met David in 1984 where we were both working in the precious metals market for First Monetary. He loved options, hedging investments and gold. He and I became dear friends for 40 years. Our ritual was to enjoy a fresh snapper at East Coast Fisheries along the Miami River.
He took the piss out of life. Challenged ever norm. Drained strangers at every opportunity. Wee would be eating in a restaurant and he would jump up and shout at no one. Everyone would look and he would sit back down as if he had had a tourettes episode. This left us in hysterics.
I like others are proud owners of his art. I have Kiev, the train station and the pole. I also have a lot of his personal photos. While I loved snakes, I didn't like 4 am wake up calls to the Glades. To his surprise, I never had his love for Brazil.
David is irreplaceable. That means there is a void in my heart and my life. He was hedonistic and ate life. Every meal was the best. Safe riding my friend. We miss you.

I’m saddened to learn of his passing. Since Thorne died, I have only seen David once when he helped scatter Thorne’s ashes in The Everglades. It was their favorite place to study snakes. Rest in peace, David.

I am very fortunate to have had David as a dear friend for 40+ years.
A gifted, accomplished artist, David chose to live his (unconventional) life on his own terms, with immense curiosity and an unbridled zest for life. Even while compromised by health challenges throughout the last few years, his characteristic enthusiasm and joy did not waver.
He loved and was so very proud of his grandchildren. He was looking forward to his recent visit, Lex, and I’m so happy that he was able to have that time with you in Miami. I know how much it meant to him; he was happy.
David is and will continue to be missed.
With deepest sympathy,
Melody

I feel quite fortunate to have had such a friend as David. Spent countless hours on the phone with him. First as a tireless and absolutely ethical broker and then as a real friend over the years discussing our similar (excellent) taste in movies and photography - and just life in general. Thank you David!

Thank you Lexis, and we’ll miss David, especially his sense of humour.
And, yes, he couldn’t be prouder of his Kinder and GroSKinder.
His cousin,
Geoffrey
