A Life of Service and Love
The Passing of Souls and the Residue of Spirit
A Life of Service and Love
Bishop Davie will always be remembered as the wonderful man he was, full of love and always cracking jokes.
His passing devastates us and leaves an emptiness we are challenged to fill.
But fill we must.
A Tragedy too Sudden
The Passing of Souls and the Residue of Spirit
A Life of Service and Love
We only learned the next day, and from one moment to the next, nothing was the same anymore.
All this light and love gone so sudden.
After grieving, we must now pick the torch and, like him, bring light into darkness.
The Passing of Souls and the Residue of Spirit

The Passing of Souls and the Residue of Spirit
His soul has passed on to The Other World, but his Spirit is still here.
If we want to honor him, we have to keep his spirit alive and keep this flame burning, in thoughts and deeds.

The Passing of Souls and the Residue of Spirit
Bishop Dave was also famous for his many jokes to put on a flannel shirt and perform on stage in LA's standup comedy clubs.
One way of keeping his spirit alive is to find all the jokes he told and to find as many recordings of his performances.
