Dave Farber: Obituaries and Archival Materials



As you know by know, our beloved Professor Dave Farber passed away last month. The impact of his loss will resonate for a long time. Here is my list of articles about his passing, plus a few other things. Let me know if you see other articles that should be included. (Picture above: we cooked Dave turkey on Christmas Day, 2025.)

Perhaps my favorite quote from this set of sources is from Dave Crocker, in the Wall Street Journal:

His mind was, from what I could see, largely undisciplined, which is how he could make these connections so unexpectedly and usefully, but not always usefully. He would say things that put things in juxtaposition because his mind just wandered in various ways.

To me, that's high praise.
