In the wee hours of Aug. 14, 2024, David A. Sibley set sail for one final voyage. Just like hundreds of times before, one minute he was here laughing about his near pirate-style, simplistic life, but the next gone, with no communication for what always seemed like too long. But this time he is sailing as the prettiest captain and sipping a Stoli on the rocks with just the slightest touch of cranberry. Linda is his first mate and Lori is asking if they’re there yet. His crew is composed of all his loved ones gone before him; what a glorious voyage he is having and who knows where his ship will end up on the cosmic ocean. Yes, Dave is back at sea.
