Classmate and good friend Dave died Feb. 12, 2019, after 20 months valiantly battling lung cancer.

Dave was born in Philadelphia and lived in Haverford until he was 16. There he developed his love for rowing at the famed Undine Barge rowing club. Dave’s family then moved to Los Angeles, where Dave graduated from high school.

At Princeton Dave majored in chemistry and rowed heavyweight crew, co-captaining heavyweight crew senior year. He joined Cap & Gown and roomed with Rich Bagger, Phil Morrison, and Greg Silvestri.

After Princeton, Dave earned an MBA at the University of Chicago. There he met his wife, Diane. Dave held a series of senior corporate treasury jobs with Ingersoll Rand, Trane, and lastly at Diebold. His career enabled him and his family to travel the world and live in various cities in the United States and abroad.

We remember Dave as one of the warmest, gentlest, and most dignified among us. His diagnosis came as a great shock — Dave was a physical-fitness devotee. He tackled his illness the way he trained for the big race — with determination and passion.

To Diane and daughters Katherine and Jennifer, the class offers its deepest sympathies. A memorial service will be held in the spring.
