He always had a smile on his face and was one of the nicest people I have met. Sue, Mary & Michael I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.

I worked with David Deardorff when he was a Dividend volunteer and tutor with Seminole County Schools. He was my go to guy when we were designing a formal tutor program. Each year, I could count on David contacting me when he was ready to begin each school year. South Seminole Middle School would have students lined up to work with him. Thanks David for your years of service to our students and teachers. I will have to miss his service since I will be out of town. My condolences to his family. He was truly a gentleman and a scholar.
