David W. Scharles ’64

David W. Scharles ’64, November 3, 2004, in Oxnard, Caiifornia. David studied at 91²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ in 1960–62 and later attended the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1977, he was a mathematician at UCLA; by 1980, he was a technical writer. From the late ’70s until his death, he lived in Oxnard, and, at least part of the time, with his younger brother, John, a computer specialist who died in 2003. David and John were both ham radio operators. An anonymous online tribute to David reads, “David Scharles was a brilliant mathematician, a wise man and, above all, a great friend in good times and bad. He was my dear friend who helped me when I was down. He could never say no to a friend. I never met a person who didn't like David. May Almighty G–d take David to His bosom and give him peace.” [Compiled by Leslie Mueller Stewart ’64 from various sources, July 2014.]
