Had opportunity to work with Chief Eklund during Automated Data Collection (ADC) source selection and he dropped much knowledge on me during our time together. Treated me like a peer entire time being I was just a SSgt. Memorable experience with Chief Eklund and great opportunity to be mentor by one of the best.

My condolences on the loss of Dave "Chief" Eklund. I worked for Chief while he was stationed at Eielson (He was a SMSgt at the time). The one thing that will always stick out in my mind was his no-nonsense approach/leadership for getting things done. He was one of the very best in the POL business, and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chief's family and those close friends who are enduring the loss of this great American.
