I will always remember the encouragement and support he provided so freely for so many of us over the years. Our deepest sympathies to his family and the students and faculty at Cabrini.

delesall	I do hope his family will take some small comfort in how widely David was loved and respected. Not many people can have the wide and positive impact David had, he will be missed but he will also be remembered.

mpizzorno	David was one of the most enthusiastic, kindest and most generous people I have met. He loved phage and teaching biology and he infected (pun intended) all of us with his enthusiasm. He will be greatly missed by the SEA community.

nancyguild	David was one of the people I always looked forward to seeing at the SEA Symposium. His exuberance and enthusiasm for the SEA, phage research, teaching, and his students made him such a wonderful gift to all of us. He was so genuinely caring, warm and engaging and I will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to his family, his students and his colleagues at Cabrini.
