He was comfortable, peaceful, and a pleasure to care for. He fought his illness with the determination and strength that defined him, but just over a month before his 94th birthday he finally relaxed. As you well know, David lived a wonderful life and had a great passion for work, friends, and family. David nurtured so many rich personal and professional relationships and he thought, collaborated, taught, travelled, learned, dined, drank, and loved art and music with great pleasure. We look forward to celebrating David’s happy life and will let you know as our planning “emerges." In the meantime, David would like everyone to continue to think like scientists!
Love, Catherine and Jonathan

Tom, Perhaps to my shame, I did not know David Pines. Please, tom, could you say a few words to let me know why I should have? Thank you, Nick Nicholas S.

Thanks for the sad news, Tom. David Pines changed my life, and I told him so. He and Suzy and I were good friends. David smoothed the way for my appointment as Guest Scientist and Affiliate at CNLS, and his early work helping to start SFI changed my mental model of the world. He will be missed.

David Pines was one of the early founder and supporters of SFI. His work is nicely described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Pines And he and his late wife Suzie, a dedicated social worker, were wonderful, fun people who gave time and energy to the community.
