Dear Trudy and dear Amy,
Thinking of you, and how you two will always keep your beloved David in your thoughts. Our thoughts are with you and him as well.

Dear Trudy,
Our family is so sorry to hear of Dave's sudden passing. I'm Ron Kelsos' little sister Kathy and I remember Dave and Ron and all their buddies. My brother thought the world of Dave. "Best friend any person could have." He did kindness for all our family in one way or another. My mom was the lady that Dave said (jokingly) "contributed to all the acne in Springfield" with her Toll House Cookies.

Learned, legal, loved, laughing, you have been lucky to have met, or known him.

We met and loved Dave. Wished we could have seen him more often. He will be missed!

I met Dave in 1973, after I returned to Eugene after the Marine Corps. Someone matched us up for tennis, and we played often. He was very good, and very willing to help me improve. We also shared many fly fishing stories over the years, usually focusing on steelhead. Dave practiced criminal law while I practiced civil litigation, so we were never in court together. But I knew Dave's stellar reputation from many who had cases with Dave. He was prepared, professional, and understood his...
