David Abbott
July 9, 1959 – December 13, 2020
David joined us after a long and distinguished career as the Deputy Commissioner/General Counsel of the Rhode Island Department of Education. He was everyone’s go-to lawyer for Rhode Island education issues. He approached his work with the same spirit of determination and care that inspired him to lead Outward Bound programs for young offenders.
We count ourselves lucky to have played and worked with David, and will miss him every day. Our thoughts go out to his daughters, Hannah and Emily. David would want all of us to “pass it forward” with a special act of kindness to someone in need. In his memory, let us all do that.
