Not sure what to say?

I saw the news of David's death by chance at the very time the memorial service was going on. I guess I've been in shock since. I wanted to write earlier but just couldn't. I knew David from our days in Marin legal aid. I worked in Senior legal, and we became friends. He was someone I could go to and moan about frustrations. He always understood and sometimes joined in, but we invariably ended up laughing because of his humor. What I will always remember most is that big, handsome guy...

I send my deep condolences to the family for your loss. David was well known as a true & zealous advocate. Having fought alongside him over the past decades, I witnessed his constant and indefatigable voice for justice & fairness on behalf of so many indigent clients in the halls of 850 Bryant Street in San Francisco. He was appropriately persistent in his advocacy and perfectly righteous in the courtrooms. He will be missed.

R.I.P Brother Dave. One of kind! Condolences to your wife, daughter and siblings. May your memory always be a blessing to those who knew you.

I always enjoyed interpreting for David Harrison and his clients. He was a great lawyer and a funny guy. He will be greatly missed at 850 Bryant. I am sad he is gone, and send a warm hug to his family

Bless you, David! Thank you for sharing your brilliant mind and fearless advocacy. With gratitude,

I am very sorry to learn of the sudden death of David. It comes as a shock. David was everything a lawyer should be. The San Francisco bench has lost one of the best lawyers. He was also a gentleman and a pleasure to handle a case with. Sincere condolences to the family.
