Not sure what to say?

Missed getting a Christmas card from you this year. You were one of my favorite teachers at BW. Just found out today.

As a friend for almost 50 years, David represented kindness and caring as a fellow member of West Shore Unitarian Church where he came to worship with his partner Mark at the time. He so loved both Mark and Jerry, his next partner, that his devotion was always evident. He was a marvelous musician, singer, antique collector and wonderful educator. It was always a joy to have him in our "extended family."

Professor Prok was a very good friend to his students and the world. He empowered us with the knowledge to be both analytical and compassionate in our addressing of social, economic and environmental challenges. His goal was for our communities to be all inclusive and to embrace the diversities that make our lives so special. Thank you, Dave!

REST IN PEACE. Your work is done. Thank you for being one of the best instructors I had.

He was my teacher and a very sweet and kind man. It was very fun and enjoyable having him as an instructor and he will be missed by many. May he Rest In Peace.

My deepest sympathy to David´s family. He was my teacher and advisor when I attended BW as an adult Nurse attempting to obtain my degree. David was kind, understanding and extremely knowledgeable in helping me get through the hoops on the way to my goal. I did, because of his guidance, obtain my goal and will be forever thankful for his help and friendship. May he Rest In Peace in Gods Loving Arms.
