David Winn died of prostate cancer April 9, 2014, in Colorado, surrounded by his loved ones. He was 59.
David came to college from The Hopkins School. At Princeton he majored in basic engineering and joined Charter Club. He roomed with Kent Smith and Ken Moch.
After graduation, David entered Case Western Reserve Dental School, and married Lois Self in 1978. He graduated with a doctor of dental surgery degree in 1980 and was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy. In 1983 he and Lois settled in Colorado Springs, where they raised three children and built a house with a wonderful view of Pike’s Peak.
David was an insatiable reader, skilled sailor, motorcycle-touring enthusiast, and enjoyed organizing houseboat expeditions on Lake Powell. He was active at Village Seven Presbyterian Church.
David’s private dental practice, Academy Laser Dentistry, became a destination practice attracting patients from the entire country. He is best known for his groundbreaking investigational work in dental-laser technology that led to FDA approval of the first hard-tissue lasers in the country.
The class officers extend deepest sympathy to Lois; children Christopher, Alexander, and Jennifer; David’s siblings; five grandchildren; and the extended family.
