I am so sorry to hear of David´s passing. He and I worked on ISO standards and as such interacted with people from many countries. David was a great listener and was a tremendous encourager to me in my work at DOE. He was brilliant and always thinking of innovative ways to advance energy efficiency. He loved his family greatly and always talked about them. He will be missed. The people he mentored live on to carry out his work.

David was bright, saw a good bit of humor in human...

David was smart, articulate, and committed to making sure that energy efficiency was never overlooked. We had wonderful conversations at ACEEE Summer Studies and various Board meetings in DC. We have lost a gargantuan leader in the clean energy movement, but he seeded so many followers and colleagues, that his impact will live on forever.

I have known David and his family since I was very young. His brilliance was acknowledged very early. He was always respectful and tender to all as he knew he was exceptional yet always stayed humble and available. His death is a great loss to society. Blessings to his family.
