David Kersey

He was the finest man I ever worked with. He helped me tremendously when I came to Allen Stevenson. He was Allen Stevenson!

I worked with Mr. Kersey for 15 years at the Allen-Stevenson School. Outside of my father, he was the finest man I ever knew. He was "Mr Allen Stevenson."

Oh dear, Mr. Kersey. You will be deeply missed. Nothing I write will do justice to the whole you, and your life, and all the many gifts you gave to those who knew you, but I have a memory to add to this wall. When I met you in seventh grade, during auditions for the Allen Stevenson production of Shakespeare´s The Tempest, at first I was intimidated by your gruff questions, how you squinted, and how you stared ahead straight faced, not false, or that you didn´t easily let the world into...

David was a wonderful teacher at Alan Stevenson. He taught all of my 5 sons. So sad to hear of his death DENNY LEVY

David was a man of few words and powerful thoughts. As a young teacher at Allen-Stevenson in the late 80s and early 90s, Mr. Kersey inspired and influenced, kindled passion and exuded grace. I will never forget. May he rest in eternal peace-

Dear Christine, I am so sorry to hear that David passed away last week. I will not forget his joy tending to his Maine garden paradise which I was privileged to share with him on several occasions. My deepest sympathy, Melinda Reach

I am a doorman at a former residence of Mr. Kersey and it was always a pleasure to see and interact with him. We always had a hilarious banter between us since i was a yankee fan and he loved his red sox. He was a good man who was down to earth with a great sense of wry humor. R.I.P.

The Death Notice for David Kersey in the New York Times is elegant, one of the best. "All were better for his company" reaches out even to me, who never knew him or heard of him but will not forget that he was among us. Barbara M.Walker, age 95 Valhalla, New York
