Not sure what to say?

Josh and Mark, my heartfelt condolences on your father´s passing, I learn so much from your father during my tenure as NAACP branch president, and I am very proud we were able to honor him with the President´s Award while he was still with us. Peace and Power.

I co-counseled with Dave Rose for a number of years in a major class action against a federal government agency. He was truly dedicated to the cause of civil rights, a strong advocate for those who needed one, a learned professional in his field, and a gentleman at all times, as well. I was lucky to have gotten a chance to work with him. Blessed is the true judge.

Although I did not know David Rose, his cousin, Nancy Sheiman, is my dearest friend and I deeply appreciate the incredibly significant and life-enriching contributions made by Mr. Rose to civil rights. May the cherished memories of love, laughter, and meaningful family gatherings serve as a source of solace and blessings for his family.
