David Rees Tree

I was very saddened to learn of the recent passing of Dr. Tree. I was one of his undergrad students at Purdue in 1973 and 1974, enjoying his instruction in ME 413 Noise Control and ME 497 Noise Study courses. I recall the names of only a very few of my professors, but have never forgotten Dr. Tree. He was an unusually kind instructor, always happy to do whatever he could to assist his students and increase their knowledge. I expect he would have been pleased to know that I was able to...

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope Jer. 29: 11,12 brings you some comfort during this difficult time.

I first met Dave in the late 1970s at one of the Herrick Lab conferences at Purdue. It was through the conferences that I decided to work on my Ph.D. at Purdue with Dave in 1980. I really appreciated Dave's guidance throughout my time at Herrick Labs. He was always concerned with his students and wanted to make sure we were progressing in our degree programs. He was an advisor I could share laugh withhe had a great sense of humor. With Dave, you always knew exactly where you stood on...

I first encountered David Tree in 1965 +/-, he as a Teaching Assistant at BYU in the Engineering Department. Then he was there as a Professor at Purdue University when I showed up for Graduate School. Somehow, he became my major Professor. More than that, he was in a Bishopric with David Glover and Doyle Thompson, all under the stewardship of Stake President Philip Low. I owe a lot to this man, to those men and others of the time.

I lived on the ranch and David came up to work in the summer. When I signed up at BYU I selected Mechanical Engineering because my cousin was in that major. I proudly wore my new slide rule with a nice leather case on my belt. I wasn't the student he was and took another path but he gave me something to look up to and inspired me to be better.

Since his move back west, he was missed. He was a super example for all to follow. - Don Ream

Becky--fond memories of your dad, especially his smile and laugh. My deepest sympathies to you and all of your family. Connie (Ortman) Workman

I'm so sorry about your loss. May you find peace and comfort in the knowledge you will one day be reunited. Prayers....

My prayers are with the family during this time of loss. Dave was the first person that I worked for at Purdue University 31 years ago. I loved working with him - he was so patient as I learned and I enjoyed learning from him. He will be missed.
