-from Maria Linder
I had not had interactions with David until a few years ago when he contacted me about my biochemical research and publications that were particularly influenced by anthroposophy, and I pledged to him that I would contribute my book, “Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism, with Clinical Applications” to his archive in the future.
However, in Fall 2020 he joined a weekly Zoom meeting (study group) that John Scholottig and I had organized, to read science related anthroposophical literature, which started with the “Heart Lectures” by Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (on of my mentors) and went into various Steiner lecture series about Michael, followed by the whole of Occult Physiology, and we were just about to begin the Threefold Commonwealth (at his suggestion).
David was a truly wonderful companion on these journeys and developed into a close friend. A highly developed, lively, intelligent, wise and truly caring human being, with great compassion for all that we as individuals and as society are going through in these turbulent and polarizing times – which sometimes pierced him to the core. I have the impression that he will be working hard for us from the other side and that his being will do much to help us in the future.
