David Melemed ’78

Body

David died Feb. 29, 2000, of a heart attack. Math and analytical process came easily to him, and his other interests at Princeton were widespread. He was active with Theatre Intime and lettered in lightweight football, while passionately supporting other Tiger teams. Though Dave left us and finished at Boston U., he loved Princeton and his many friends, often traveling far to stay in touch or support someone through a rough spot. After a variety of jobs and adventures, Dave worked as a computer and systems analyst for Fidelity for 10 years. He was an active member of Temple ISrael in Sharon, Mass. Belatedly, we send our condolences to his wife, Rachel, and his sons, Benjamin and Daniel.
