David Banach

Dave, yyou will be missed by all who knew you. It was always a pleasure to talk to you and talk about the Red Sox. Rest in peace.

Dear Mrs. Banach and Michael,
Sr. Annamarie Kane just called me to tell me the very sad news of David's death. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have no words that can soften the pain. I do know that David and his father are with God. I will be praying for both of you in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

I work in the Math Group at ETS. The first thing that comes to mind about David is that everyone loved him! He was kind, upbeat, and had a great sense of humor. Closer to when I first met him, when we both had the title "Assessment Specialist", he had this idea that we should address each other as "Assessment Specialist" followed by the Assessment Specialist's last name. "Hello Assessment Specialist Tattenbaum". "And hello to you Assessment Specialist Banach". Later he decided it was too hard...

I was quite saddened to read this news - and unfortunately too late to attend calling hours. David and I were classmates at Holy Cross. I did not know him well, but we had a class together freshman year, and I saw enough to know he was a friendly, jovial fellow with a keen mind. I still chuckle remembering how three of us freshmen would politely correct any mistakes the prof made on the board in our Symbolic Logic class. I hope that gives you a chuckle too.
RIP, David.

My deepest condolences to the Banach family. David was a man of grace, in both good times and trying times, who will be dearly missed. A wonderful colleague who was a joy to know and work with.

David's smile and cheerful demeanor will be greatly missed. His smile and politeness won't be forgotten...may he rest in peace

David was a kind soul who always had a smile. He will be greatly missed at ETS; his colleagues are better people for having known him. May he rest in peace.

David was a sweet man, always had a smile and always pleasant to work with. He will be missed by all who knew him.
