David F. Shaffer

RIP, old friend. Wish we had had more time together after college. A nice guy with a great career and family. But gone too soon.

Dear Mary and Family,
Loving thoughts and prayers for you all at this time. Cherish the memories of your loving husband and father.
Christine Schade

David was a brilliant and funny colleague and mentor when we worked together on education policy at the Rockefeller Institute, and I am grateful that he later reached out to connect me with the Public Policy Institute. I frequently quote his wise (and hilarious) words: Most problems are caused by solutions. He will be sadly missed.

Kathleen (and Family), We are so sad to learn of the passing of your Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, The Curran Family

DFS ...
devoted family man,
brilliant writer and sage pundit,
talented photographer and advocate for nature,
shining moral compass for the state,
revered colleague and dear friend.

Your passage comes way too soon.

In humble appreciation for all you've done
for all of us,

Cynthia DeMichele
