I had the pleasure of meeting David for the first time in February 2020 while he was on vacation in the Dominican Republic with his wife Kelly, brother Rob, and sister in law Paula.
We met on the beach, and myself and my wife Sharon quickly clicked with the Findley brothers and their better halfs!
Having an aviation background myself, it wasn’t long before myself and David exchanged stories and experiences, and I was so impressed with David’s broad knowledge of the industry, and his keen interest in current commercial aviation issues (B737 Max design oversight ) etc.
More importantly, me being Irish, David & Rob felt duty bound to educate me about ‘real’ alcohol (while sipping cocktails on the beach!), and again, I was impressed with his knowledge of fine wines and spirits (in particular, whiskeys & bourbons).
We had some great nights together, and David proved to be an absolute gentleman.
David, it was my pleasure to meet you! RIP.
Dear Kelly and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this extremely difficult time. God bless you.
Ken Delaney.

Oh, Ken and Sharon – thank you so much! He loved our vacation with you both!
Love,
Kelly
