David was the kindest person I have ever met. It has been a privilege to know him even tangentially. He was like my 'tax priest.' Scrupulously honest, exemplary in handing infinite detail, calming in times of fiscal crisis. Besides doing my taxes so many years, he was one of the great human beings EVER. David loved stories, telling them, listening to them. And he loved writing. Many of his tax clients were indeed writers. And, somewhat paradoxically he himself was exceptionally talented as an essayist as well. David has been fortunate to have a wonderful wife, Pam, who has been so supportive to him, he loved his family, he loved his pets. He is irreplaceable. I can't believe he's gone. I will never forget him. God Bless you, David Lidle, DLSheepdog, DethnTaxez. And my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to his family.
