My husband and I met in his class Fall 1987, an Honors seminar called American Culture and Society of the 60s. 7 years later we invited him to our wedding and he attended. It meant so much to us!

Deepest sympathies to you Jean and your family in the loss of your beloved David. I recall with great fondness and nostalgia Laurie’s and my visit to you in Florida and the all too brief times together on the Island. May all the love of those who knew David and know you see you through .With love from Ellinore, Michael, Mary, David, and Davis Milner.

My condolences to the family will keep you all in prayer ❤
