We contacted Jessica (Eric) Geipel, David’s neighbor who also works at UCSD Hospital and was very close to the process this last week.

Upon David’s return from Germany last week, he was taken directly to the Hospital, as his condition had complicated in pain and under heavy medication. With no further reason to remain in the hospital, he was moved home under hospice care.

He had a couple of lucid hours on Friday, recognizing his family and closest friends and put under very heavy medication once again, to give him relief during the night.

Three of his closest friends from his younger years drove that night from the Bay Area, who were able to share some good stories in a circle around David during his last moments on Saturday morning, for which he was conscious and showing his usual grin.

The family is making arrangements for a Memorial for this Friday or Saturday. We will be informed.

Jessica thinks that Randi and Alex will appreciate cards and any kind of support and care, most significantly for non-family members next week, when all has settled and most gone back home.
