Hello everyone,
We have some sad news to share.
David Lubell, long-time chair of Group Nine, Amnesty International, died early Wednesday morning, September 3.
Our hearts go out to his wife Mary, and to his family.
He will be greatly missed by all of us in Group Nine, where he has been a dedicated leader and mentor and committed defender of human rights.
He has made a lasting impact on our group as you can see in the following comments:
"David was a person of integrity and vision and action. He walked the talk. And he was also very approachable and engaging."
"David was one of the best persons I have ever known."
"In the short period since I met David in Group Nine, I saw and felt his great passion for the group and our human community."
"His suggestions and insights were truly enlightening."
"David was a gentleman and a scholar. Our group will not be the same moving forward."
"We will miss him greatly."
"Although I only came to know David since last December, his kindness, thoughtful leadership, and steady presence made a lasting impression on me. I still remember how warmly he welcomed me, and how generously he shared the history of Group 9."
"He left a beautiful legacy and he left the world a better place. I will make a donation in his memory to one of the causes he gave so much towards."
"I am heartbroken to hear of David's passing, and I offer my condolences to Mary and the rest of their family. While I might have known him less than others have, I came to deeply admire him and his dedication towards this cause, he will be remembered fondly within our group."
