A doctor that genuinely cared about people. A rare thing.

What happened Steve?

Had the pleasure of spending several days at the races with Doc, including the very memorable Rachel Alexandra Preakness. He was there for me for support and explanation when I went into panic mode over my mother's ovarian cancer. A truly wonderful gentleman, scholar, and friend that is gone too soon. RIP Dave this Preakness is for you

Would anybody be interested in sponsoring a race in MD in his honor? I'd be happy to coordinate if there is interest.

That's a fine idea. I'd be glad to contribute.

He always took time to provide thoughtful insight and perspective to medical and non medical topics. Unfortunately never had an opportunity to meet Dave, but he sounds like he touched many lives. Very sad to read this and RIP.

Not entirely sure but he had his own health issues off and on the last few years. This was sudden though so heart attack would be assumption.

Really saddened and shocked to hear that he has passed away

Here's his last post here about Larry Jones.
