David was a friend and an inspiration; he lived the UWC mission. He was a force that united people, nations and cultures. Personally, he showed me what could be achieved through vision and determination against the odds. His passing away is an immeasurable loss to his family and friends, but also to the cause of bringing quality education to where it is needed across the world.
As one of the key founders of the United World College in Mostar, David has left a valuable legacy of contribution to reconciliation and quality education in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
