RIP David Padwa


IN THE 92nd YEAR OF HIS LIFE, ON THE MORNING OF JULY 18th, 2023, THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF DAVID PADWA OBSERVED HIS PEACEFUL AND DIGNIFIED DEATH. 

We are grateful to the legislature of New Mexico and its Governor for the passage of legislation allowing for compassionate medical assistance in dying in the event of terminal illness.

I consider myself most fortunate to have known and spent time with David Padwa - in person, on the phone, in email, in his books and writings and photos he sent to go on his cuke page. I will miss David. He had some life. What a character. What a brilliant character. Condolences to his wife Bettina and his offspring Gideon, Mariner, and Sabrina. - DC
