Dear Linda, Ren and Zarah,
I was sincerely saddened to learn about Daves’s passing. Life just never ends dealing changes and unexpected losses. I’m really, really sorry.
After all these years I’ve missed your family and friendship. I have not forgotten any of you.
May you have strength and love going forward.
My sincere best to you,

I was in Justin Morrill College with David. He was brilliant, honest, kind and deeply humorous: a Mensch!!

I first met David when I started my career in public utility regulation back in the 1970's. I remember him as extremely dedicated, thoughtful, passionate in his beliefs and always of good cheer.

Working with Dave at Consumers' Counsel was a joy. Each time I got to work with him made the day brighter. I will miss his humor and will toast a beer in his honor.

I really enjoyed working with David at OCC. He was brilliant, hard-working and kind. I loved his sense of humor. He will be sorely missed by so many. Prayers for comfort and strength to his family and friends.
