In addition to his research, he also taught microbiology <br /><br />When Dave first arrived in Amherst he joined the Amherst Fire Department. Previously, he had been a member of the Ledyard CT Fire Company. He was a well respected fireman and was promoted to a Lieutenant on the Amherst Fire Department Call Force. <br /><br />Dave was also an avid soccer fan and played in a league with an assortment of friends from CT and MA. <br /><br />Most importantly, he was just a sincerely special and devoted friend and son. He was the kind of guy who would do whatever he could and whenever he could do it to help anyone out.<br /><br />In the course of a lunchtime conversation we could go from his latest research techniques and joking about drawing blood in his lab, to discussing the intricacies of operating the Amherst Ladder 1 or the best plowing technique. <br /><br />A very special guy. There is no doubt in my mind that he would have continued to do incredible things and make an even greater impact on the world than he already has.<br /><br />-SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004629376755297194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-57067681720900324952009-12-12T12:56:39.781-05:002009-12-12T12:56:39.781-05:00http://www.umass.edu/loop/talkingpoints/articles/8...http://www.umass.edu/loop/talkingpoints/articles/82057.phpLarry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-49296179948571372772009-12-12T09:17:27.527-05:002009-12-12T09:17:27.527-05:00Who was he?
