DAVID JAFFEE

I was one of David's NEH students, and attending his Summer Institute--meeting him, learning from him, and working with the wonderful people he brought together--transformed my whole understanding of scholarship and teaching. I just had that one opportunity to work with him but I've continued to think of him as a role model, someone with rare generosity of spirit that's not easy to find. For some reason I always thought I'd have the pleasure of talking with him again about our shared...

Sincere condolences to family and friends, may memories and prayers comfort you as your dear one R.I.P

Thank you for all of your work in the world and your generous collegiality during the year we were fellows together, David. My warmest wishes to the Jaffee family.

We are so saddened, Izzy, to hear about the loss of your father. We liked him so much. We were always so happy to see him either walking Oscar on the trail or at the club where we enjoyed his company and his contagious laugh. We will miss it! It was so nice to see him enjoying life again. We know you, your father and your mother all loved the camp and we'll miss having you up there as part of the community. Please know that we are thinking of you.
With deepest sympathy,
Jeanie and Andy...

I will miss the warmth, the conversations, the dinners over pizza and beer, the successful and sometimes unsuccessful attempts at grilling, and seeing the pleasure David took from his camp on Birch Trail, and his sharing of his love of Barbara, Isadora and Oscar.
