december 12, 1941, set up on bay street and if you know your geography that's across the street from fort mason one of the primer areas of deploying service men primarily men and women to the pacific following pooerl hark it turns out they need a place to store their automobiles and george grew his service station into a automobile storage along came his son to the third he expanded that into what is now a very, very large transportation log eric's company that do so business here in san francisco bay their ships are repaired at

the bae ship repair and they've been a big part of our history mr. parish i can't the third said he was doing so well, at the service the port asked to count his cargo counts because we are that struggling but it was a great pride to allow on him to get our counts up mr. parish i can't was a very, very generous man was a married many years and has many children and grandchildren he gave to all kinds of different communities and enterprises and this is a big friend of the port a how shally community member for the one hundred and 50 anniversary one this tip of the iceberg tidbit the captain that was the

founder of the marina take was the captain of mr. parish i can't see boot for many, many years and sailed around the world and it's a big loss to our community we still have the pleasure of doing business with the parking space you can't see group where george parish i can't the fourth our condolences secondly, we also lost pacific flanagan mr. flanagan was the president of the standard fishries at the port i was a two-time president of the fisherman's wharf merchants association he was also a member of the fisherman's wharf waterfront advisory committee he was a strong advocate for rebuilding a port and a strong advocate for the build out of the hyde street fishing harbor

and county and you are started out a parking citation officer and transferred to the san francisco puc asia senior administrative analyst and joined the port in 2007 as a senior administrative active analyst david was known for his way to recommend solutions and he was duo dog even though it was not being his physician he needed as much information from as many sources nothing was two consuming he dug in and had a keen desire for efficiency and process among many things he's left the port better than he found it we're indebted to him

and reilly from the loss of an amazing person he was a crazy enough person to be a swimmer with those two blue shirt gentlemen who are here to help us celebrate him. that concludes my report. and hopefully next time it will be more cheery we've lost people this month that left their marks on the waterfront >> i hope we'll adjourn our meeting in memory of those steering wheel individuals. any public comment? >> i thank you. i'm peter ross the president of the rowing club for 8 years i've here to pay my receptors important the loss of david as monique said his life is one we need to celebrate david wouldn't want anyone to

mourn him i was remarkably positive we say it over the past two or three months he was battling cancer i've known dpaifd for 20 years he is absolutely beloved at the seat belting end for his witness and reference and intelligent the same desire to know everything about every topic and highly preponderance of evidence he was there to give pious opinion whether you wanted it or not but again back to his positive approach to life he was not down despite having cancer that debilitated him to the point he couldn't speak he received 90 e-mails from some of the members that heard about this last time and people are talking about him as soul mates and similar kind

of vein it was incredible how much he touched everyone again, he wouldn't want to be mourned but celebrated and i think having said that, we share the losses of both individuals and his waterfront institutions and not like i'm going to turn it over to buck to add to those commissioners, any questions or comments? >> hi, i'm buck a member of the concern marine eastbound club i was sad to hear david passed away i spent the last thursday evening and his spirit were liquified with the comments from the decrease we were speed limit to meet tomorrow for diner peter said he had a wonderful mind a facility that was so

extraordinary he went to frarns and studied french and went to the library and started reading the newspapers and was fluent in fetching a diplomatic french that some businesses need to communicate a disarming representatives and an experience that combined the blue-collar his knowledge of the shore and currents of the bay which he acquired as a young bay boy when he was finishing with his father in the bay was unparalleled where we met thirty years i got to work with him he would call me up with questions about the traffic of the dp t and this brown act when he was at the puc and the port was a baffling document for all of us

his body was invaded by cancer he spoke his mind with the will you sit to note champion or political voltage he clauld with relently rigor against the congestion challenging me to think about my assumptions and ideas for that gift i'm therapist at the end of the day i valued his friendship and my colleagues will agree miss constancy i was lucky to spend an evening with him last week and feel blessed to have shared a friendship as we wanted me to say. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> >> thank you. >> i also wanted to speak in memory of david d c he was an
