Our hearts are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Prof Bland. My husband & I just began an economics class with him at UMO last week. The very first assignment that Prof Bland gave us was to read and analyze a Harvard Business Review article entitled “How Will You Measure Your Life?” I am so thankful that he chose to share it with us. The article stressed the importance of evaluating what matters in life, not just in business. Prof. Bland's life had such an impact on so many of us students, and that is truly something of measure.  Our sincerest sympathies go to Prof Bland's family. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts, prayers & hearts. He was a wonderful person & will be missed; thank you for sharing him with so many of us.

We are so sorry to hear of Davids passing.   You will miss him but he's not looking back at this old place. 
Hugs and kisses to the Bland familu

My heart is heavy and overwhelmed by David's passing. I am so very sorry for the immediate family who will truly have a tremendous void in their life now. David was a joy to be around and a bright light in every gathering. It does not surprise me to see such beautiful things said about him here.  Heaven did certainly gain a beautiful soul and it is surely our loss here, as David will be missed by all who knew him.  We love you David, you left us "ALL" way too early.  Please know Margaret, Uncle Bobby, Aunt Elaine, Robert and Donald and all those beautiful family members, that you all will be in my prayers as you cope with David's loss. God's Peace be with you during this time.  We love you all!

I admire him so much for his willingness to speak up and do the right thing for the good of others in difficult situations - unselfishly and with great courage.

If I had a chance to have that last conversation with him, I would thank him for his friendship and his untiring devotion to doing his part to make the world a better place and to set a good example for students and coworkers. I'm going to miss you buddy.
