I just heard that David passed away last week. I was so sorry and saddened to hear that. I only knew David through the occasional get-togethers at the Silver's and Simms', but always thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent together, whether chatting about science or iPhones. He had such a nice, low-key and wonderfully friendly demeanor. His absence will be missed at the next New Year's or Super Bowl gathering.

David was a wonderful person, scientist and friend. I have not been in touch with him for several yeras, he was a mentor during my early career in Biotech. I remember his patience and keeping level headed not matter the situation. I will always remember him fondly for his character & standing and living his values, setting an example for all of us. On a lighter note, the best venisson I ever had was when Dave brought smoked meat, thin sliced - for a "Beer and Deer" sharing. Will miss him.
