David was a quiet, funny, charming boy who called me out of the blue (I had never met him, he graduated two years before me) Sophomore year and asked if he could come over. We were rarely apart from that day until I graduated and he was drafted into the Army. He was the best first boyfriend I could ask for. Thoughtful, romantic, kind -- loved my dog Willie and my mom, and his mind was always focused on art, music, literature, and socio-political philosophy. We discussed every topic under the sun, and I learned a lot from our conversations. Lucky me to have been a small part of his early life. We re-connected through Facebook ten years ago. We began an intermittent correspondence. He adored his talented wife, Meg! Together they led what can easily be called an enchanted life both here and abroad. They traveled the world, both of them artists, and after reading Meg's beautiful testimony on the SPHS website, I discovered so much I didn't know about his, and their, life together. I will remember his face (he kind of looked like a rabbit), his calm demeanor, his curiosity, and his talent. He is greatly missed. Terry Michael '70
Tony had the most infectious laugh! He was a good friend -- very much like a big brother to me -- and I am so sorry that he passed so young. A lot of my evenings were spent in a booth at his family's restaurant, Angelo's. I had dinner there often, mainly to see Tony. He would come out from the kitchen with the biggest smile, sit with me until his dad yelled to come back and work, then he'd serve me some wonderful Italian something -- pizza, spaghetti, ravioli :) and sit with me again. I swear I can still hear him laugh. He is missed.
