This man was a giant in intellect, practicality, and above all, honesty. He was an enormous benefactor to me as an owner of Montana Heart Institute. He was a role model for me and a good friend.

Rest in peace David. Never left a meeting with David where I thought "I wonder what he meant by that?."

"Steady as a rock." As David and Linnea's godson, that is how a recalled David as a young boy who was fortunate to hang out with the Veeder clan in our hometown of Billings...and ski the slopes of Big Sky on annual excursions. Later in life, when we reconnected for an afternoon of conversation and memories, I realized that my childhood tagline was spot on. David modelled what it means to be stead, professional, thoughtful, humorous, humble and strong at the same time. The world is a better place because of him. We need more of the same. Thank you, "Godfather"...I hope you get a kick out of me saying that.

Thinking and praying for David's wife Linnea and his family and friends. He was such a good person and did so much for me and for so many communities. He will surely be missed by many. God Bless you all. Sending love and prayers.
