David died Sept. 28, 2015, on a journey home from Denmark, where he and his wife had spent every summer since his retirement.

Born in Terre Haute, Ind., he prepared for Princeton at Royal Oak High School. David majored in international affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School, where he studied Canadian foreign policy. He was a member of Quadrangle Club and Orange Key and was a senior recorder. His roommates, Larry Loeffler and Dick Remley, became his lifelong friends.

After graduation, he served two years in the Army in the Counterintelligence Corps in Germany. David joined Smith Kline & French in 1958 and became licensing director in 1972. He moved to Squibb seven years later and retired in 1992, when he formed a consulting business. David was a member of the local planning commission and zoning board, proudly contesting ill-conceived housing developments.

David married Hanne Huebner, a Dane, in 1961, and together they raised two sons, Robert and Nicholas. He read innumerable books on European history, and tended his gardens at homes in Pennsylvania and Denmark. He was a proud and joyful grandfather to Christian, Olivia, and Serena. The class is honored by his service to our country and sends condolences to his family.
