I just read of Professor Weaver's passing in the Wake Forest Magazine. He left such an indelible (positive) impression on me 35 years ago. To this day I reference pieces and bits from the course I had with him. I cannot know how he impacted his family and friends, but I do know minimally, that he had a very outsized positive impact on how I saw the world for such a brief time I was in his orbit. Peaceful journey!

I just saw his obituary in the Wake Forest magazine. I had several of Dr. Weaver's classes at Wake Forest in the late 1970s. He was 10 years older than me and had a profound influence on my life and career choices.

So, so sorry to learn of Dave´s passing. What wonderful memories of our time together at the Crest House, Fran. My deepest condolences! Gerry Sussman

That said, I feel that Mr David looked forward to each day to accomplish good goals and to live a good life. May God bless you all during this time of grief.
