Professor: You were an inspiration to us all and a wonderful professor. It was a privilege to have been in your final classes ever taught. You told me when we were leaving campus we would see all see each other soon. We may have to wait a little longer but I look forward to seeing you on the other side. Just know your legacy lives on through every engineer you helped mentor here at Lafayette. You will he missed

Thanks for being such a great friend over the years David. It’s hard to believe you’re not here now. I’ll miss you my friend.

I hope you are in a better place.

Dave was a great mentor, advocate and friend. He was a champion of Greek Life, Athletics and helping students understand the broader spectrum of life. We hold his memory high.
