I attended the graveside service of my good friend David Horodezky today and the service and prayers were outstanding.
I extended my condolences to Jason whom I’ve known since he was 10-11 years old when David and I competed ferociously on the golf course. Dave and I used to kibbutz that if life was a game of golf we were both on the 18th hole and it was a part 3 and we were out of mulligans. Dying was not something we believed in,as we were too busy living, how ironic!
What a breath of fresh air Dave and his family was..
Jason and Trudie always greeted you with a sincere and warm big verbal hug with…how are you Alex, and you knew they really wanted to know how you were! It was not just a simple greeting.
David taught them well …be sincere, be warm, be true and most of all be upfront with people.
That was Dave..
Of all the golf matches I ever had with people, not once did Dave ever lie or cheat about his score. Some think golf is “just a game” it’s not! it’s a reflection of who we are! Show me someone who will cheat at golf and I’ll show you someone who will cheat in life and business. Dave Horodezky was not that guy…he’d come out of the trees and say give me a 6 Alex I whiffed one in the trees…he had so much integrity that this was the way he conducted his business dealings as well.
He was a fighter, he was a carer, he was what every little boy ought to be when they grow up, he was what every man wishes he had been after realizing it is too late.
He was my friend and I promise I will visit his gravesite and crazy as it may seem I will have conversations with my friend until my time comes. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a Scot and Dave always told me “you guys are the lost tribe of Israel”, that was Dave. Whatever was on his mind he would tell you and I loved that about him! Because whatever he said was always followed with that great big Dave laugh. (If you knew him, you know what I’m talking about)
How could anyone not love a guy like that?
Alex
