G. David Low

I offer the prayers of the Stoces family to the Low family, as we all remember David. I worked David's STS-32 landing on Columbia out at Edwards AFB, and just want his family to know that he was an inspiration and will be missed by all.

G. David was an exceptional person. His passing leaves a void in us all.

My deepest sympathies and prayers goes to David's family. This is a great loss for the space community. My family and I will offer our prayers at masses during the next several weeks. I consider myself lucky and blessed to have known David.

My family will have David's family in our thoughts and prayers as they deal with their loss. I worked with David for the past 8 years. Those of us that had the honor to know David will remember him as someone that achieved the highest honors and held himself to the highest standards while at the same time being very modest, treating all he knew with respect, always having time for his teammates - no matter what position they held, and always having that understated but terrific sense of humor...

David was not a part of my daily life. We didn’t spend a great deal of time together even when he was in Houston. That said, he was the kind of person you could meet once and still be compelled to call a friend, someone that I somehow felt close to, but with no real proof of that. He was as unassuming a person as I have ever known, but stuck everyone who knew him in a profound way. He was a blessing to every one of us. It is a rare person who can make such profound impact on so many with...

My deepest sympathies to David's family and relatives in this sad time. I hope that your many happy memories of him will help in the days and weeks ahead.

I'm honored to have known David, to have worked at Orbital with him, and to have witnessed first-hand the intellect and integrity that were his trademarks. The aerospace world has lost a fine man - and those of us that knew him, regardless of how well, are better for the experience. He was always a class act and gentleman. We should...

Some folks make themselves a source of inspiration, guidance and friendship and G. David was certainly all that. He was one of our early sources of info when our class joined the Astronaut Office in 1995. It was truly an honor to know him and an even greater honor to count myself among his colleagues. He was also there at the launch of STS-117 likely to be my last flight into space. To have him there at the beginning and the end of a career is very gratifying and he will be remembered for...

To David's family -- Our sincere condolences. David was an exceptional human being and superb astronaut. It was a privilege to know and work with him. He will always be considered a member of our office.

Sincerely,

Steve Lindsey
Chief, Astronaut Office

I had the great privilege of being with David and his kids as we toured the launch pad of the Kennedy Space Center in June 2007. I photographed he and his kids as we toured the Shuttle Orbiter Processing Facility and watched the joy of seeing his children hear what their father had done. We had such a great time on the pad as he discussed his last mission aboard Shuttle Atlantis. I will send Joanne the photos of us together as I know his kids will cherish them in the years to come.
