I am so sad to hear about David's passing. He was such a lovely colleague and mentor for me, sharing his knowledge with humility and humour and all my memories of him are filled with warmth and caring. It was indeed a privilege to have known him. My thoughts are with his family.
David lives on in my memory as a refreshingly positive and helpful colleague, a dedicated and devoted teacher-scholar, and a steadfast friend. To his family, I extend my condolences and heartfelt sympathy. Larry Bongie, Salt Spring Island
