David Apple was not only my cousin, but also my childhood playmate, and my friend, becoming one my heroes in later life, due to his athleticism, his musical ability, and his intelligence, which was obvious in his career as an ophthalmologist, as evidenced by his many awards & accomplishments. He was truly a leader in his field, earning worldwide recognition in the field of ophthalmology. My last contact with him was at our Apple Family Reunion in 2010, and I am so thankful I had the...

As a researcher in the Ophthalmic Surgery industry, I worked with David over a number of years. In a field where strong personalities and anecdotal information often ruled the day, David always posed objective questions, established hypotheses and did the research to determine the right approach.
