Not sure what to say?

I met David at a conference in Paris, back in 1993. I was a Ph.D. student, he was already a successful sociologist. We met several times after that, and I will always regret we didn't collaborate more. He was a great colleague and a good friend. I remember him with deep respect and affection.

I just thought of Dr. Sciulli this evening and googled his name and I was totally shocked and saddened at this news!

I was then a graduate student when Dr. Sciulli was in Texas A&M. He would take me, a Chinese student, another Japanese student, and a number of other graduate students out for lunch many times. He and Cynthia invited us home and I believe he demonstrated his culinary skills. He was one of those professors I felt I could pour out all my wild ideas with my broken...

I was in touch with David by email for several intense months around 1995-1997 when, as a young assistant in law at the University of Louvain (Belgium), I discussed with him several issues pertaining to the nature of corporations, while he was working on what would become two books he published on this subject matter.

To the family

I remember Dave as an underclassmen at AKHS. Sad to hear of his passing, but he obviously made the most of his time and left some great footprints for us to follow.

I remember Dave from high school as one "great guy." Judging by the lovely comments from those he touched during his life, it's clear he lived up to that memory and much more. My sincere condolences to his entire family.

I never met David personally. But we had close contact on our common theme: societal constitutionalism. I always admired his curiosity, creativity and dedication to the subject.

David was a great friend and a most distinguished colleague. His respect and encouragement were much more important to me than I have been able to express. Even at a distance, he knew how to keep in touch, and to keep our intellectual dialogue going throughout the years.
He is the kind of person I have always wanted as a colleague and intellectual friend, and I'll miss him badly.
Love to Cynthia and the whole family.
