We have lost a dear Friend...(NorCalCigarLover)

[DePasta]

My wife and I were contacted this morning by David Sanchez's wife Veronica telling us that David had passed away. I am truly at a loss for words, I know many here were touched by David over the years here at CP. I truly am pretty devastated about this, while he lived across the country, we shared many great memories with each other. Please say some prayers or have good thoughts. She wanted us to let his friends here know.

Stunned and saddened.

David and I connected over cigars back in 2005 when I lived in Healdsburg in Sonoma County. I will miss busting his chops on the forum...

Wait, what? No f'ing way! David and I did a ton of trades and ribbed each other, along the way. At a loss for words, even though I never physically met him.

WTF. 2020 can suck a dick.

Here is a memorial.

Breaks my heart. Met David at what I believe was the first "Wine Pimp" herf and wine tasting. A great guy, we traded sticks and such over the years. So sorry to hear....

Damnit, I'm about tired of this shit. RIP brother, one of the long time CP veterans and a friend to all.

Damn, I'm very sorry for loss of one of your friends. Seems like he was a long time member and from the responses an amazing person. RIP

I didn't have a chance to get to know him, but I'm so very sorry for his family's loss, as well as the loss of an obviously beloved member of this community. My prayers go out to all who knew and loved him.
