Body

David died Nov. 2, 2015.

A graduate of Rutgers Preparatory School, David completed Rutgers Law School after Princeton. During our undergraduate years, he majored in history and participated in Whig-Clio and Orange Key. He was a member of Cloister Inn and roomed senior year with Geoff Revelle, Jeff Marston, Don Rosenblitt, and Art Goldberg.

David enjoyed a distinguished career as a court administrator, serving as the deputy clerk of the New Jersey Supreme Court; the clerk of the Alaska Supreme Court, and the clerk of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. He also was employed by ImmixGroup.

A lover of dogs, devoted fan of his children and their athletic pursuits, a student of Middle Eastern history, and one who read endlessly, David was also an avid stamp collector.

The son and father of a wonderfully close-knit family, he is survived by his son, David, a captain in the Army in Korea; his daughter, Jennifer, a doctoral student in neurology at Michigan State; his former wife, Mary Ellen Flaherty, with whom he shared an enduring commitment; and brothers Peter and Richard. His mother, Miriam, also survives him. He went to live with her when he was afflicted with Parkinson’s.

A fine person; a fine life.
