In memory of ...

David Farrell

Dave Farrell was my first and best high school friend.  I know that is a qualified statement.  He was my best man as well.  As our career paths developed we moved on and saw each other infrequently, then no more.  On the occasional trip home to visit my family I would call Dave's office to see if we could meet.  He was always either in surgery or away from the office and his answering service did not accept messages.  I learned just this year, 2013, of his death.  I learned he'd moved to California which made sense to me; Dave was a free spirit to write the least.  The last time I saw Dave he came by my parents' home in his gold T top Corvette, license plate 4O-Silk.  We talked about mundane things and he was off.  I am very sorry his light is gone from the world.  I will remember our last talk and then Dave waving as he drove off in his 'vette.  Adieu my friend!
