You know, about six weeks ago, I was trying to catch up on my pile of newspapers. The pile builds because I often subscribe to both the Los Angeles Times and San Gabriel Valley Tribune, and I frequently don't have time to read them until the weekend.
As I went through one day's pile, I came across an insert for See's Candy, suggesting what a wonderful holiday gift they make. And, just like that, I was reminded of David Perea.
I couldn't believe that it was a year previous that I bought a handful of little See's candy boxes from David as part of a fundraiser.
I don't know if I mean I can't believe so much much has happened since then, or that so little time has gone by since his passing.
He was one heck of a guy. Worked harder than anyone. And he was a leader. If he thought someone was taking themself too seriously, he'd bring 'em back to earth. If he thought someone wasn't pulling their load, he let them know it. And not in a harsh way. He usually managed to shame the offender into doing what they knew they should be doing, anyway.
Just thought I'd share what I am reminded of now, every time I see a box of See's candy.
