Dave, in 2014
Rest in peace, my friend.
Obituary for David Leroy Thornburg
You know, you were 38 when we became friends in 1978. I was 22.
When you died a couple of weeks ago, you were 85.
Well, here I am, 69, finally getting up there myself.
I’m gonna miss you in many ways.
For nearly 36 years I’ve watched Dave twirl on dramatically in speech and beyond. Sometimes I chime in as though there were something to add. I’ve updated this post because of the YouTube video embedded below the image, Dave, A Sprial. The video is entitled I Wish I’d Had a Science Teacher Like This. Dave is the math teacher I wish I’d had. Fortunately, he’s the friend I do have, the gentle poet who spirals on gracefully.
