David D. Coffin

As much as a teacher could be loved and revered, I loved and revered David Coffin. I was his student during my years at Exeter (class of 86) In a tough academic department, he was the kindest, gentlest soul. To this day my fellow alumni and I talk about him with awe and reverence. He left an enduring legacy not just of passion for scholarship but of the development of strong character. God bless. He will be missed but always remembered.

Dave Coffin was a wonderful man, highly esteemed by colleagues and students alike. I will always remember him for his warmth, his kindness towards me, his affable wit and his ready smile. My condolences to Peter and Sarah. Plenus annis abiit, plenus honoribus!

Heartfelt condolences to the family. May God give your heart peace and comfort.
