Not sure what to say?

I was so saddened to hear of David's passing. David was always so kind and he took the time to see how I was doing when I saw him out and about in Monroe. My condolences to his family. He will be missed and I'm glad I got a chance to know him.

Although David was a very good judge, he had real musical talent, and he wasn't afraid to share it. He and I played the fiddle and banjo several times at judges' conferences. As a junior colleague, it was encouraging to see that judges thrive when they maintain hobbies, like music. Importantly, the music with David was always punctuated with large amounts of laughter and story-telling. I will miss him greatly.

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.

I got to know Judge Lee when he chaired the Dispute Resolution Commission. What an outstanding jurist and person. I will really miss that smile. I will try to be like Judge Lee as I age.

David made a difference.
