Comments
David was a very special human being who was never afraid to voice his opinions on politics and virtually anything else. He was a fun, intelligent and loyal person. He will be missed by everyone at Carleton and by everyone that he touched. Have a great trip superfan.
I got to know David at the Three Links nursing home several years ago. He always engaged me in conversation when I passed by. He was a warm, caring person. I'm glad I got to know him. What a spirited, memorable man.
