Dr. David Kimball Wiles

Growing up next door to David I have so many fond memories. I am especially grateful to David for all the hard work he did for the coastal environment and his beloved beaches. David was quite a force in protecting and improving this important part of the ecosystem.

Back in the late 80s, I took every Doctoral level class I could take with you because of your wry sense of humor, motivational assignments, love of all things Mac, and thorough analysis of my writing. You were the best professor I had at SUNY and I am eternally grateful to you for finding some Department petty cash to help pay my expenses to the 1988 NYSCATE Conference. Thanks to you, I got on the tech bandwagon fairly early and never got off until I retired from Apple in 2020. Blessings to...

Dear Marilyn,
I just learned of David's passing. His mentorship as the Chair of my doctoral dissertation at Miami University of Ohio enhanced my continued to grow. His teaching brought home forcefully to idea to never let schooling get in the way of one's education.

I just learned of Mr. David passing. I'm very sorry to here this. Prayers sent to Mrs Marilyn and family.

Marilyn, I just learned of David's passing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your extended family.
Darlene and Paul Van Lengen (neighbors to Kim and Stan)

I just now became aware of David's passing. My deepest sympathy and respect to Marilyn, and to the Wiles family.

A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES. A FAMILY LOSS. PRAYERS FOR ALL.

I had not been in contact with David for a long time, but when were on the Albany faculty together, he was always most welcoming and friendly. He was a fine teacher and good department chair.
