Body

Dave died July 16, 2025, in West Palm Beach, Fla.

He came to us from East Rockaway (N.Y.) High School, where he was active on the school newspaper, editor in chief of the yearbook, participated for the school service organization, sang in the chorus, and played in the school band. At Princeton, he majored in history, played trumpet in the Marching Band, was active in the Princeton Savoyards and the Hillel Foundation, and dined at Court Club.

After graduation, Dave had very limited contact with Princeton or our class. In our 25th-reunion yearbook, he indicated he was a physician in the Wilson Clinic, in Wilson, N.C., with a specialty in radiology. After retiring he moved to West Palm Beach, Fla.
