R.I.P.

I hate calls like the one that came Saturday afternoon.

They usually start with “Do you remember so-and-so?”

And my apprehension rises because maybe the next words will be that a former resident has died.

That's the way it was Saturday when the caller told me David T. had passed at a Phoenix hospital early that morning.

He was a Hard Six who left TLC a few months ago.

David worked for a long time at TLC's corporate office, securing contracts for our labor company.

He also was in our aftercare group, and sat across from me through many sessions.

Those of us who knew David will miss him. It's always difficult when a man in his middle years leaves us much too early.

Rest in Peace, David...
