I first met Dave when I was attending Graduate School in Bozeman in 1980. I was struck by his humor, honesty and insight. After I left MSU, I had the pleasure, once again, to connect with Dave when he was a school counselor and administrator in Dixon and Charlo. He really had a heart for young people and could see beyond their "behavior" and be tolerant and caring, while holding them accountable. I'm sure he touched the lives of many students over his lengthy career, just as he touched mine in the short time I knew him. Rest in peace my friend.

Tish & family..I was saddened to read of Dave's passing. It was a privilege to have worked with and learned from Dave while at Dixon. His kindness...and that smile!...are traits I will remember when I hear his name spoken. I am so very sorry for your loss.
