You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
holy smokes! i held dave in very high regard. didn't know he was ill.
ReplyDeleteDave was a great guy. We were all lucky to know him.
ReplyDeleteHe had just lost 30 pounds by changing his diet and exercising. He seemed to be in the best health of his life. Does anybody have any details?
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked! I just had lunch there Friday. He seemed well and happy as always.
ReplyDeleteThe table of wisdom is no more. Many a day I sat at the table with Dave in his store. May he RIP. He truly loved his City of Bethlehem.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. I didn't know him well, but our house is just down the street from the deli, and I know he loved election day. Several election days ago, we were canvassing and stopped in at Lumps for a snack and got a reception that was even friendlier than usual. I am sorry that won't happen tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteKim, He was one of my favorite guys, even though he and I were never really on the same page. I should have sat more at the Table of Knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI wish my schedule had allowed me to stop by the deli more often, but on the few times I was able to get there and chit-chat he was always a great character, really cared about the city, may he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThey say only the "Good Die Young" What a crying shame!....Dave was a fine upstanding Gentleman....And you are right He Loved Bethlehem.
ReplyDeleteI knew him for many years prior to selling my last business venture. From when he first bought the Deli.
He was good customer, and a good friend.
