David A. Hanych has come to join us at the Rainbow
Bridge. Being a cat lover, and friend
to all animals, he was reunited with many friends here. Aslan his kitty, Vincent his buddy, and many
many others were here to welcome David.
David, only 60, is young for a hooman to join us. He is survived by his beloved Neptune, whom
he adopted two years ago, and his beloved Uncle Walter Pindor.
David loved his job at the National Science Foundation and
was very proud of his recent webcast promoting "Citizen Scientists". http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_videos.jsp?cntn_id=124991&media_id=72892&org=NSF Way to go David !!!!!!!

David was from Cleveland, Ohio and was living in Arlington,
Virginia, from where he’d drive down to visit Rikki’s Refuge.
He also enjoyed coming to the National Capital Cat Show at the Dulles Expo Center to visit with
Vincent and watch him scoot the agility course.
The David Hanych Memorial Fund will be used to support the
kitties of the 9th Life Retirement, Assisted Living and Psychiatric
Center at Rikki’s Refuge. Funds will go
towards the building fund for an addition we’re dreaming of ..... starting with a pre-fab building like this .... where the downstairs would have screened space for the
breeze on a lovely day and the upstairs would provide cozy views out of the
windows on rainy days.
I think David and Neptune would approve!

David was the program officer for my NSF grant - he was always so knowledgeable, understanding,and helpful to me! I am really saddened by the news of his death. I also wish i would have taken a minute from our busy work conversations to get to know about his interests - especially his compassion for animals... As a fellow rescuer of stray cats and dogs, we would have had so much in common. I hope my big strong cat Wilson who has also crossed over will welcome David...
