Sending love as always at this time of year. Nancy and Bill Tripp

Just now discovered that David has moved on! So sorry to all. We knew him at ISB as a lively, dynamic teacher, and also connected with the fab Kandy.The greenhouse project was tremendous. Tom was teaching at ISB too, and also creating with his students The Potato Museum. Etc etc. mega hugs, Kandy! Meredith and Tom Hughes

We always think of David, Kandy and Donovan at this time of year. Our love and prayers are with them. Nancy and Bill Tripp

We always think of David, and Kandy at this time of year. Such an untimely loss.

Growing up in the same neighborhood as Dave and Kandace was so much fun. We met at the bus stop in my driveway from elementary through high school. Since we had the best sledding hill in the neighborhood, winter was always filled with lots of neighborhood kids. David could always make people laugh and he had such a great sense of humor. He was great man and I know many many people miss him deeply. I didnt have much contact with Dave after high school, but I still remember him fondly as one...

Was shocked to hear the sad news of his passing! Remember him fondly as my biology teacher and his great rapport with his students. He supported our crazy idea to raise a few pigs in the valley and roast them at the end of our senior year in 1979. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

What great memories of Mr. Wilson's class, and the greenhouse project. He found a Flemish word for 'glazing clips' (which hold the glass panes in place before the glazing putty was applied), I think something like "lente blaads". His inquisitive nature was contagious, as was his friendly and fun personality. He will be missed but fondly remembered.

Great memories of a great teacher. I will always remember the greenhouse project.

David and I got to know each other at ISB and occasionally discussed finding a better place to live.
We heard about a roomy 1st floor apartment nearby for very low rent. It needed a lot of work. The landlord would pay for materials. I have no experience, I couldn't possibly but David was confident.
With the help of ISB neighbors and supportive friends, we transformed a dreary cavern and moved in! The cooperative spirit continued with weekly dinners, occasional parties and pride...
