David was kind, compassionate, smart and a relentless fighter for peace, justice, democracy and ecological sustainability. The world was a better place with him, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. David Schwartzman, presente!

We will remember our comrade. A life well-lived.

David and Joanne hosted many parties at their home in northwest DC. One time he hosted a party where the guest of honor was the Green Party Presidential Candidate.

A very wonderful soul. Always happy to see him at a protest. Wishing the family peace.
