Passing of Mayor of Blogville RIP

I just found out that David McClain died March 21st. He was the Mayor of Blogville back in the day.

He and Mel aka Mrs Tor were beloved members of the WDC community. David was a natural story teller. His exploits at Almosta Farm are remembered by many. Melinda was a horse woman and lover of nature. She died in David's arms years ago.

Since David and I were close in age and looks, it's hard to see recent photos from hospice. Pancreatic cancer robbed him of flesh and more.

Better to look at photos from years ago when they were happy with horses, dogs, goat and a pig.

In this ancient photo found in Debi Wharton 's blog from 2009 we see CC, Ken, Melinda, Eric and Debi: "My memories of the last few days"  David's death March 21st puts it in perspective.
