Dave & Helen were our college classmates. We have kept a close, but long-distance relationship for nearly 60 years. He will be missed by so many friends in addition to his precious family.

My family and I have wonderful memories of Pastor Huseth. He was our confirmation pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran in Tacoma back in the early '60's, then went on to be pastor to our dear grandparents Hans & Marie Odegard at Trinity Lutheran in Enumclaw for many years. My favorite memory is when he came back to Tacoma to officiate at my marriage to my husband 43 years ago. He will always hold a special place in our hearts. May God's grace comfort the family at his passing.
