David Morgenstern

Dec. 2, 2015

I was indeed saddened to learn of David Morgenstern's passing in May 2015. While in the SF Bay Area, I was a member of BMUG West in early 1990s and worked with David at MacWEEK in 2000 and always appreciated his professionalism, positive approach and helpfulness as well as his personality and wider worldview. While we have all lost someone very special in his demise, we are fortunate to have the legacy of his written, educational and artistic endeavors. He inspired many of...

Dear Inara, I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. I knew him well at SF State. He was a great singer and and even greater character. I send my prayers out to the family

Your memory is truly a blessing dear, dear neighbour/friend. Missing you. Love to Inara, Ariela and husband, Ann, Jamie, Minnie and Hercules.

I am so sad to learn of this news. It has been years since I saw David but it hit me all the same. I knew him when I worked at BIJ and was always greeted with a warmth that has not been forgotten. He had a.great presence and I was glad to know him. May his memory be a blessing. My sincere condolences to BIJ and his family.

So deeply sorry for this sudden loss of such a wonderful leader and inspiration to live a full and meaningful life. Prayers for his family and everyone who shares in sorrow of his passing, yet celebration for the gift of his presence.

I cannot express how deeply saddened I was when I heard David had passed. He was a great friend, long after we had worked together at Ziff and our lives led us elsewhere. He was the most generous, genuine man, and I am grateful to have known him

In working with David at MacWEEK and BMUG, I knew he was fun, inspirational, caring, and beyond competent... driven, passionate, engaged. But I thought that everybody in the world was like that, every workplace and community would have that level of relationship. I've spent the last quarter century looking to find and recreate that special something, at work and in living neighborhoods.

During his funeral service, two words came to me: "Elan" and "polymath."

We definitely want...
