Dear Brian,
“Come close and bid me farewell;
Touch my eyes with smiling lips.
Let the children grasp my hands with soft and rosy fingers;
Let the ages place their veined hands upon my head and bless me;
Let the virgins come close and see the shadow of God in my eyes,
And hear the echo of His will racing with my breath.”
– Kahlil Gibran.
Take care, my friend. Hugs and love from Toronto.
Heng.

Dave will be missed dearly here at the beer store. The great talks we had on the Toronto Maple leafs and the players we love. Just the love of hockey in general and all the stats and information he gave. Dave you will be remembered for your friendly personality and the time you took for us all. Cheers Dave, we will be thinking of you every time we watch the leafs play.
