Celebration of Life: David E Katague III via Photographs-Part 2

This posting is a continuation of David III Celebration of Life via photographs. Part 1 was posted a couple of days ago. Rest in Peace, David E. We missed you!!

 

This is the Nite Light in David's Room-I will light it every night to remember him!  This nite light keeps me company and I do not feel alone in this big 4BR ranch house. Although, I am comfortable alone in this big house, I am not rejecting the idea of moving to an Independent or Assisting Living facility within 30 minutes from my other children in the near future. It is something to think about as time  ticks by.

David E Helicopter and Plane Collections ( He has a lot of Computer Parts stored, since he was building computers as a hobby from parts he purchased from E-bay and Amazon.

David loved his wooden rooster and horse and other animals collection from the Philippines. 

Here's his room after Dodie had cleaned most of his knick knacks.

 

In my previous tribute to David E, I mentioned the White House Tours and Parties we attended as the immediate relatives of an OMB employee. I also forgot to mentioned that David E had attended the 106th Session of the House of Congress in 2000. Here's a photo of his Parking Permit as evidence. He kept it in his jewelry box together with Seiko and other jewelry collections. Not too many of us will have a chance to attend a US Congressional Session in our lives. Another event in David E life not mentioned at the last week Zoom Memorial was his six months aboard the SS Abraham Lincoln Naval Carrier. He was one of three civilians on contract by the US Navy in charge of the maintenance of the communication and computer system of the Battleship Carrier. The carrier traveled all over the world with stopover in the Middle East, Singapore, and Pert, Australia. He was on the ship for 6 months and was burnt out after that.

This is David E favorite antique leather foot stool-he purchased from Antique Stores in our area.

Dodie and I rented a big Dump truck to discard all of his other junk accumulations and non- valuable properties from his room and from the Garage.  

David had more than 100 caps in his collection. The one below is from the SS Abraham Lincoln Battle Carrier.

This one is his trout cap that I am modeling today. You wear this if you want to get attention.

Lastly, If you have any picture of David E, could you please share it with me.
