Lost track of Del (now I have really lost track)

I met Del when he came to Cambridge, MA to open the Shambhala
Bookstore. I was completing a wine bar renovation right underneath
the store and Del gave me my next project, small renovations of the
bookstore. We became fast friends. He was always a pleasure to be
around, generous and humorous, and as others have posted, very relaxed.

I last saw Del when I visited him at his home on the seacoast north
of Boston where he had gone to manage Element Books. He told me that
he would soon be doing a 3-year retreat, and unfortunately, we lost
contact with each other.

This morning I was looking up the exact date of CTR's passing and
then went on to other sites and saw the news. He was too young to
go, and I will miss him greatly.
