So sorry to see this.

ETA: For the non-Sinfonians on GC (which I guess is pretty much everybody but Boodleboy and me), the loss of Brother Plank will be sorely felt throughout the Fraternity. Among many other things, he wrote three popular songs in our current Songbook. Per our Executive Director Ryan Ripperton: "David has always been the most unconditionally enthusiastic Sinfonian I've ever met. Never one to be involved in politics or policy, David showed up under the Sinfonia banner over and over again, there simply to share his love of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia."

And per the Fraternity news release: "On Friday, December 30, approximately forty Collegiate Province Representatives, gathered at Lyrecrest [our national HQ] for the annual CPR Convocation, sang 'Sing of Sinfonia' [which he wrote] to Brother Plank by telephone after hearing that his health was deteriorating.

"Chapters, colonies, and alumni associations are asked to sing at least one of Plank's songs at their next meeting to remember this honorable Sinfonian. Sinfonians everywhere are encouraged to consider a memorial contribution to the charity mentioned in the obituary below."
