EXETER TWP., Pa. â At its Tuesday night virtual meeting, the Exeter Township School Board adopted a resolution honoring the memory of David Bender for his 34 years of service to the board.
Bender, who died in November 2020, was a school board director from 1983 until 2017. He served as board president and vice president, as chair of numerous committees, and as a mentor to new board members over his many years of service. David was a fine gentleman, and there is no resolution that could recognize everything that he did, but I know that he certainly was an inspiration to me, and his contributions were endless, said Robert H. Quinter Jr., a past president of the school board.
