David M. CULVER

Bill and I were classmates with Dave at Dalton High School. I remember at one class reunion he took a memory walk around Dalton and spoke of each classmate and streets where each one of us lived. He began at his house and walked in order until he canvassed the town. It was wonderful and quite amazing. I was spellbound. Thank you Dave for being a friend to all. Deep sympathy to all the family. Hugs to all. Lynn Stengl Cone

David was four years older than me. When he found I was interested in in attending Colgate he encouraged me to me and accompanied me on a visit trip to campus. We overlapped a year at Colgate and remember he was influential in making the college experience great. I think of him fondly and wish I had kept tabs with him and his family over the years. My condolences to his family students and friends

I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know David that well because he was older than me, but I grew up right acrosse the street from his parents. In fact, his mom was my kindergarden teacher. She was a terrific lady and great with all the kids. I loved their dog, Bridget, and use to take care of her on occasion. What a great way to start my education. David's father worked in the Dalton Post Office with my dad for several years. I did get better acquainted with Judy and Blair when she...

Dr. Culver was my colleague in the History Department from 1997 to 2010. He was a popular faculty member with a down-to-earth teaching style and knowledge of American Presidential history. His work on JFK and other Presidents was influential. He was very kind to me as a junior colleague and always had a smile on his face. I still saw him when he taught part-time until 2017. My deepest condolences to his wife and his daughter. Wing-kai To Professor of History

I was a student in Dr. Culver's History class during my freshman year at BSC. I will admit that I had no interest in history but did really well in Dr. Culver's class because of his great way of teaching and story telling. He was compassionate toward me as an adult student and I was so appreciative of his kindness! This was in 1990 and I'll never forget him. He helped me become a better teacher and part time faculty member at BSU. Sending sympathy to his family.

Dr Culver was my professor at Bridgewater; and, later I asked that he be my advisor due to the fact he was born and raised in Dalton. I knew his mother first as title 1 teacher. He was a great professor of US History; but, his seminar for the Vietnam War was outstanding! He was top notch as a professor/advisor but one of the best people I got to know at Bridgewater. I think of him often and wondered how he was doing. I am sure he will be missed. I miss him as I often thought about what...

Throughout the years I have fondly thought of Dr. Culver often. I took as many classes as I could with him including his colloquium. He was brilliant! I loved his personality and quick wit. I always beat him to class because I arrive ridiculously early to everything. The last day of the first class I took with him he told me that he started showing up even earlier to class because he enjoyed our chats before the other students arrived. We talked about sports, history/politics, animals,...

Requiescat in pace amica meus! Ave at que vale! Let our democracy live forever!!

Dear Barbara, Sarah and Judy, I am so very sorry to hear of David's passing. He and Bob were close as cousins and had many enjoyable phone calls over the years. After Bob passed in 2019 David would call me and we would catch up on family and classmates. I also enjoyed our phone visits. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. With my love and sympathy. Barbara Wilson
