I am so very sorry to learn of Mr.Tester passing away. He was a fine man and teacher. I met him at East High School and he was a great inspiration to me and my love of architecture...I could never thank him enough for his words of encouragement. To his family and friends...I offer my sincere condolences.

I was fortunate enough to grow up around Dave and to have him as a teacher and a mentor. He wasnone of the handful of educators I had in high school that actually got something to stick with me. The things I learned from Mr. Tester still serve me today. Godspeed "Calvin"!

My condolences for his family. Mr. Tester was a hard, but fair teacher. I had him for mechanical drawing for 2 years and learned a LOT in that time. Rest in peace, sir.
