    Hello, Leonard and family.I work at ASU and came to know David when I was working at the Physical Plant several years ago.He was always so sweet. After I transferred to the library I did not see him as often. But when I did he always had a bright smile and hello for me.As many others, I was terribly shocked to hear of his untimely death.Leonard, I also worked with you at the Physical Plant for a while. And i remember Jeanette from the days I worked at Salant and Salant many, many years ago........such a very, very sweet lady.Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
