Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

I can't believe it has been 15 years since Mr. Brune passed. I have so very many memorable stories I could share, through having worked with he and his assistant Bettie for so many years. I was blessed to have known him and know we will meet again one day.

I signed the Guest Book in 2007 upon his demise as Sonja Watkins, I am now Sonja Musser and still live in Irving and think of David Brune often as I visit Las Colinas often and love going to La Cima Club atop the Mustang Square! While working for the City we had luncheon meetings there and enjoyed his favorite corn chowder soup which they continue ur to serve! The view from there is breathtaking! David Brune would be happy to see the magnificent view of his handiwork! Rest In Peace kind...

David Brune contacted me last year after Ben Carpenter's passing to tell me how much he liked the story I wrote about Ben Carpenter in my paper.

He invited me to lunch, after which he drove me around Las Colinas for hours and told me the most wonderful stories about the growth and development of Las Colinas. It was one of the most enjoyable afternoons I can remember.

David Brune was a very dear man.

During the years I spent working for the Las Colinas companies, I had little contact with David Brune. I regret that, since during my visits to the offices afterwards, I was charmed by his friendliness and humor. He will be greatly missed.

David Brune was a gentle, friendly and very knowing person.

My office is in Williams Square as a result of David’s advice. Also, he and Eleanor lived a few houses away from us in Fox Glen in Las Colinas.

Although I had no formal business relationship with him, I learned a great deal about the history of Las Colinas and could sense how proud he was of the role that he played in its formation.

A few months ago I told David that I think of him every day as I drive up...

I came to know Mr. Brune while working for the City of Irving.
Years ago, David invited a group of us to lunch in Las Colinas. The luncheon became a tradition, and I always looked forward to it. When I retired, David sent me the nicest note and mentioned that he wanted to continue the luncheons even though several of us had retired.

I will always remember "Mr. Brune, the man from Las Colinas," as a man with a sincere heart, a wealth of knowledge, and a great story-teller. I...

I enjoyed working with David in serving the citizens of Irving in the field of Parks and Recreation. Some of Irving's beautiful parks are a result of his efforts. He will be missed.

To the family of David, it has been a privilege to know David and meet you. My father, Allsion Denton, has spoken so often about David and how much he enjoyed working with him on ranch projects. May God bless you, and may David have peace with his wife in heaven.

Mr. Brune will always be a part of my wonderful memories as an employee of the City of Irving. His passion for the City and the development in the Urban Center and surrounding area of Las Colinas, was a part of him shared by many. As a good friend he has left his touch within the hearts of all that were fortunate to know him both professionally and personally. He had a pet name for me that always made us smile and I shall never forget him. Thank you David, for being a part of my...
