I just learned of David's passing; David was the architect and founder of the "1031 like-kind exchange business".
He learned it so well he convinced me to let him undertake this as a "growth initiative" He was an expert in the subject matter, and frequently gave presentations at conference. He built Wachovia's reputation in the business.
He came to me one day and said " I know you don't think much about this business, but we've earned you $5mm in top line revenue this year" Well. on a basline of $250mm, this moved the needle a bit, and I was forever impressed by his tenacity and stick-to-it-ness! He also said "it was a risk free business"
A great guy, he will be missed.
