The Eye Team expressed their gratitude for his service. Dr. Schaal, Chair of the department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at UMass said: “I would like to sincerely thank you, David, for your excellent service and dedication to our department.

You have been knowledgeable, dependable, reliable, honest, thoughtful, and truly a pleasure to work with. We shall certainly miss you here at the Eye Center. I will personally miss discussing complex cases with you as my retina colleague. Wherever you are, please know that you have friends here at UMass. You will always be part of our Eye Team”.
