I just got off the phone with David.

He has had a tough year and a half. He has been in hospitals and treatment facilities for well over a year.

They are trying to get his wounds healed. If successful, he will move to a rehabilitation facility to "learn how to do some things all over."

He is at The Reserve At Richardson and is able to have visitors. He has a few every week.

I told him we will come by the 2nd week in December but will call first.

David's 87th birthday is next month.

Dallas area members, if you would like to visit or call David, my email is in my profile.

From my experience, he does not answer email or texts. I have only reached him by phone.

Knowing David is a long-time member of First Methodist Church Richardson and choir member, he assured me he knows he will be with Jesus when his time comes.

SW, thanks for the update!

Hang in there, David and I hope you can get well and back on your feet!

Happy Thanksgiving!

SW_sig, we must be on the same wavelength. A half hour before you posted your update, I went to David’s house, got no answer (obviously), and dropped a greeting card at the post office.

David has not been home since he fell and was stranded in the backyard.

If you and others are up for it, we could visit him around his birthday next month.

Dude.


Sincerest apologies.
Saw the thread active and was misled by the posts above mine. Saw the ST memes saying ´re still on Sigforum and mark60´s welcome back.

Should have investigated more and not jump to conclusions. Apologies again.

SW_Sig, thank you very much for the update. I am (I'm sure we all are) very glad to hear David is in good hands and getting the attention he needs. Thank you, too, for information on his location. I'll be putting a birthday card in the mail shortly.

SW_Sig, Thank you for the update. I am happy to know he is doing okay and in a rehab facility. Snoris and I had an email exchange and I was hopeful that David was home and would have answered.

Please let him know we are thinking of him and miss him on the forums.

David is hoping he can go to his church for Thanksgiving.

Kinda late to ask, but does he have someone watching and caring for his residence?

He had a friend working on a few things there last year.

I sure hope he can. I hope someone connected to the church is seeing him and can facilitate getting him there.

Prayer sent for you David. Best wishes our SF friend.

Obviously, David’s a fighter, good. Appreciate the update on his challenges; so very sorry that happened to him. SW_Sig, if you think, or if David thinks, he would be lifted by Christmas cards from his brothers in the Forum, please let us know.

Thank you for the update and especially for this news, SW.

If I wasn't so far away, I would love to visit with him.

I see the Reserve and its address, but I don't see David's last name.

It’s in his profile here. I think I should not post his last name here for the public to see, privacy and such.

Good call, IMO.
Also, the name in his profile is FirstMiddleLast I believe, the E being the middle initial.

Thanks SW, I always loved his travel picture posts.
