What we will miss about Dr. Gandy was his laugh...it was from deep in his heart and he loved sharing it with those around him. When you think of David and that laugh, you think how different the world would be if they just shared laughter. He made the world a better place with his knowledge and smile. He was a man that never took himself seriously and I am sure he continues to do that today with those gone before us. We miss you David.

Dr. Gandy was an admired and respected professional serving the students on the campus of Tennessee State University. His life has truly enriched the success of more students than he would ever know Always a gentle presence among family and friends, he acknowledged the accomplishments of others as well as the generosity of others. His was a life well-lived.
