May the God of loyal love comfort your family during this time of need. ..Psalms 119 : 76

My sympathies on your loss. I had the privilege of knowing David through the teaching section of the American Physiological Society, and came in second to him (lost)when he was elected Chair of the Teaching Section. As we spoke, I told him my reaction to the election news was disappointment followed by great elation. He confessed to exactly the opposite sequence - elation followed by great apprehension.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with...

David's legacy will live on in the students he taught and in the contributions he made to the Teaching Section of the American Physiological Society. We are grateful for his presence among us!

My deepest sympathy. David was an outstanding example for all of us: committed to the Lord, his family, his students, and his discipline. He will be greatly missed by those of us who looked forward to seeing him each at the Christian Fellowship meetings. It is wonderful to know that our friendship will be renewed one day in the presence of our Lord.

David will be missed by all of us in the physiological community. He was a gifted teacher, educator, and scientist, who contributed significantly to our discipline. We all benefited from his contributions to our science. My sincere condolences and those of the APS are extended to David's family.

Although I saw David only once a year at the Experimental Biology meeting, I knew him to be a thoughtful and generous colleague who cared deeply about teaching and his students. We will miss him.

My sincere sympathy at this time of loss.

I'll miss our annual interaction and fellowship as colleagues and believers. My deepest sympathy.

We will miss a great teacher, mentor and friend to students.
