Tribute

By DJ Williams

I would like to celebrate with you David Williams' wide variety of interests. David loved his intricate model building, old time airplanes and recently several paddlewheel boats. His next love is that of music, classical and every other kind. He rarely heard something that he didn't like, but when he did, he would simply shrug his shoulders and say "that isn't music." David had an amazing memory of the past - people, places, times and events, particularly early air facts. He also had a passion for foreign languages which was alive and well as long as he was. David's help to other stutterers, cannot be measured, but it was vast. His warm, rye sense of humor was enjoyed by all. He was a master at limericks. I would sometimes shutter wondering what would come out of his mouth next. But he would always make me laugh. His ability to laugh at himself is demonstrated by the poster that some of you may have seen, likening himself to the great Robert Redford. But most of all, I will always celebrate his part in the creation of our two wonderful daughters, Holly and Carol. Besides, getting them started was delightful.
