I am writing here to offer my heartfelt condolences to Phylis Whyte, long time life partner of David, and to David's brother, Michael Leibson and his family.
David was a friend and neighbour of my childhood, with whom I had a unique long term relationship that included as well those very early years when we were both newly married, various travel experiences, some mutual friends, countless recipes, visits together in Toronto and in the Laurentian countryside, and our deep pleasure when he found his life partner, Phylis, with whom we also shared much friendship and camaraderie. I counted him, for many years as a very good friend, and my memories of our exchanges over time bring me a sense of sweetness and good fortune. David was an excellent basketball player, a poetic musician, an accomplished cook and from his more recent endeavours, a teacher of english who I imagined from his enthusiasm, to be deeply appreciated by his students.
Although I lost touch with him in the last few years, I wished here to honour the special light that he brought to my life and surely to the lives of many, many others.
