The Bristow's lived next-door to me in North Palm Beach; and Dave was a friend from school and our neighborhood. I have many great memories of the fun we all had back then. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, daughters, and family.

My husband Ed Zipp also died young at age 59. He and Dave worked together at ABC channel 40 several years ago. Dave was a kind man who Im glad I met.

To Lisa and the girls,
Your husband and father was a great man.
There was never a time in 23 years in crossing Dave's path, I was not greeted with a kind word or positive gesture. My condolences and prayers to the family.

Lisa, your husband was a wonderful best friend to my brother Tim. Always kind to an annoying little sister! And, girls, cherish and know you had the best father! So sorry for your loss, words can't describe the sadness we all feel from Dave's absence. You are loved.

I remember the day you started with the Sheriff's Office and getting you set up with your computer and phone. I always figured you would be there when I reached my 50th year in law enforcement. As you always kidded me about how long I have been around. Praying for your family, Lisa, Cara and Court. You will be missed very much.

Dave, I can't believe what I just heard and read! You're still very young and you were always active. I remember seeing you workout in the old District 1 downtown with Sheriff Wells, Bruce Meade, and Ricky Wells. I can remember working in the Crime Lab when it was also at District 1 and when the smell of Ben Gay drifted down to the Crime Lab I knew it was time to go workout and the four of you would already have a head start on Rich Talbot and me! You will never be forgotten as you were a...
