Dave was a dear friend in the early sixties when we were neighbors in UofU married student Housing. He was like a Godfather to my children, if anything were to happen to us. I hope you and Ken can go fishing up there.

I am so very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a valued colleague, role model, mentor, and friend. I admired and still admire Dave's commitment to public service, but more importantly, his devotion to doing things right, doing them well, and enforcing the law without fear or favor. On more than one occasion when I was faced with a difficult decision I unconsciously thought "What would Dave do?" He had courage and was brave. He will be missed.

Our condolences go out to The Family
