Not sure what to say?

I had the priviledge of working with Dr. Long from 2001 forward on the Biofield project. I marveled at his drive, and was fortunate to respectfully observe a man working at his hobby - research and invention to improve our world. I learned about his family through several long drives to FDA ("a police swat team surrounded my house"), and saw a man who could relate to anyone, independent of social status. I hope we can realize his scientific goals and dreams, but he will none-the-less be...

...thank goodness for only 6 degrees of separation. I was in Mexico City when I heard of David's recent passing. Few I have known as driven, dedicated and personable as Dr. Long. We shared many stories over peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and late night experimental runs. I regret we had not crossed paths in these recent years as we had both moved to greener pastures. When I heard the news, the gaskets began to leak as I thought back on the times we shared, the great man we all knew...

The administrative staff of Sharp Grossmont Hospital and the Board of Governors for Grossmont Hospital Foundation are grieving the loss of our benefactor and former member of our medical staff, Dr. David Long. Thanks to his vision and generosity, the David and Donna Long Center for Cancer Treatment and Cardiovascular Diagnosis was established in 1992 and continues to be a leading medical facility, now and for generations to come. We wish to express our condolences to his family and friends.

To Carolyn and the Long Family,
I have many good memories of the Long family growing up in the neighborhood and meeting Carolyn on the first day of school in 6th grade. Both of us had just moved to California and didn't know anyone. We soon learned we were from towns in Illinois just a few miles apart. An instant connection ocurred.

Dr. Long was a very busy man yet always had time to laugh with the kids and keep a solid household. I remember playing a joke on Dr. Long with...

I find it hard to believe the world has lost someone as special as Dr. Long! What a great man and friend he was! I have been a family friend of the Longs since they lived next door to us in Villa Park, IL from 1965-1973. I remained friends with them after that, visiting them in San Diego and finally, being inspired by them to move to CA myself in 1984. Dr. Long helped shape the person I am today. In 1967, he invited me to go to Trinity Lutheran Church (Villa Pk, IL) with him and his...

David Michael Long Jr. will be sorely missed. He was a dynamic, energetic, creative, sensitive, thoughtful and charitable man. He was also a brilliant doctor and scientist. I had the good fortune to work with him on a system usilng voltaic differentials for early breast cancer diagnosis and was delighted by his dynamic solutions to many difficult problems. I also had the good fortune to work with his brilliant son Carl, and Margot and I enjoyed his lovely and talented wife Donna. To them,...

Dr. Long left his mark on Muhlenberg College. Many students and faculty were touched by his spirit and generosity. He will long be remembered for his work on behalf of his alma mater.

David at Philippines General Hospital, Manila, The Philippines

Dr. David Michael Long Jr., was a true humanitarian in all respects.

It was my greatest honour to be associated with David in his never ending efforts to spread the word of early detection of breast cancer in underprivilaged women of all ages in the Developing Countries.

I've taken the liberty of enclosing a group photo of David during a visit he made to train technicians in the use of his 'other' love, the Biofield Diagnostic System, at the Philippines General Hospital,...

I had the privilege and honor of working with Dr. Long as his administrative and personal assistant for almost 12 years. During that time, I came to know Dr. Long as a scientific researcher/entrepreneur, a gentleman and a great American. Anyone who worked along Dr. Long knows that he had great perseverance. He never gave up on his vision to help and improve healthcare for women. When facing extraordinary obstacles, he seemed to get more energy and nerve. He inspired many young persons to...
