In Memoriam: David G Truemper

Today, October 30, is the 5th anniversary of the death of Dave Truemper.

Dave not only distinguished himself as a member of our class, but ultimately distinguished himself as a Doctor of the Church, theologian par exellence. Dave's knowledge of the Lutheran Confessions was recognized throughout the church, though God's gift of Dave to the church was rarely recognized by the faith community that nurtured him in the faith and trained him to take theology seriously.

Those who knew Dave well miss his insights, his friendship, and his unswerving tenacity in telling the Gospel in all its fullness.

"Continued rest eternal grant to your servant David, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him."
