David Sindelar was a wise, discerning and generous gentle person who helped and guided me when I was President of SLU. I have not forgotten his commitment to our friendship and love. May Dave continue his peace and joy in Heaven. Larry Biondi, SJ

Dear Sara and your Family:
I have prayed for David during his health issues and he and I shared his fears and hopes for Our Lord´s resolution to his cancer. Christ wanted him with Him and He called Dave to His Kingdom. I believe Dave was at peace with Our Lord´s decision. Dave´s life had challenges, as we all have, but his goodness, generosity, and Christian values speak volumes to all who knew him. I am sure he is at peace and is enjoying the Kingdom Jesus has promised to him.
RIP, Dave, and help us, your family and friends, to be blessed as you have been.
Continued prayers
Larry Biondi, S.J.

I was at a presentation today about the David M. Sindelar Cancer Center, and suddenly made the connection to Dav e and my days at Arthur Andersen. I remember him as a super nice guy--sad to see this, but the Cancer Center is a fitting memorial to his life's work.
