 David Clark died Wednesday, April 23, 2003, in Santa Rosa, CA, two weeks after his fiftieth birthday. During his 12-month long battle with cancer, David showed his family and friends how to live with courage and purpose, even in the face of illness. David saw each day as a gift and he made each of us thankful that we could share time with him. His example reminds us all to live our lives with humor, patience and awareness. During the past 25 years, David had risen through his career in the marine industry. He spent more than 13 years in senior management positions in Texas, Connecticut and California. For the last three years of his life, David had been Deputy General Manager of the Ferry Division of the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District. He was also vice president of the Passenger Vessel Association. David loved to spend time in the outdoors with his family and friends. He split his sporting endeavors between the mountains and the sea. He was an expert mountain biker, roller blader and skier. He loved to camp, windsurf and sail. Anything that was new and challenging caught David's imagination. His enthusiasm was contagious. | Thoughts from
