Not sure what to say?

I think it was 1983 when I first met Dave Lynch. I know it was a Monday, because Monday was my night to play softball in those days.

Dave defended me in a complicated case back in the day. Not only was he possessed of a brilliant legal mind, he also brought common sense and a delightful, empathetic demeanor into play. I was down and worried but he inspired trust and confidence and sure enough, he saved the day. I knew I was in the presence of an extraordinary human being, gifted and full of heart.

Over the years, I had several cases with Dave Lynch. He was a great attorney and always a gentleman.

Dave's office was next to mine when I was a young associate at Low, Ball & Lynch. I can still hear his voice dictating and on his speaker phone - slow, steady, and strong. Wonderful man and mentor. My condolences to his family.

Yvonne, April, Michelle and Carolyn. Dave will always be a cherished memory as a friend, mentor and a person that never failed to bring a smile to our faces when we were together.
