I worked for and with David Krell between 1991 and 1998 as an associate lawyer when he was a partner of Lummis Krell & Baker . I remember David as a genuine, honest and highly ethical lawyer. He was a warm and understanding boss with a unique sense of humor. During those years, I also had the pleasure to work with his wife, Anne, who was and is a wonderful colleague and friend. My deepest sympathies are with Anne and her sons.

We were neighbors in Palatine Lake and I taught both of his boys first aid in Cub Scout Day Camp. But I got to know him better through CASA when he became the Family Court Judge in Salem. We have lost a wonderful advocate for Children's rights. May his family find comfort in knowing that although his life was too short, he made a difference for the children who faced much adversity in their lives due to family dysfunction.

It is still hard to believe, and the Courthouse is quiet without his spirit and zeal. He had great compassion and will be greatly missed. Wishing his family solace at this difficult time.

My heart is going out to each of you. It was an absolute pleasure and honor to work with Judge Krell. He was compassionate, fair, firm, and understood the complex needs of children and families with mental health issues...and those of us who worked on their behalf. He always spoke so fondly and lovingly of his family. He will truly be missed.

David's energy, insight, enthusiasm, intelligence, fairness, and commitment to his profession and family are what I most remember from many years prosecuting in his courts. He was a good friend, reliable confident, and trusted adviser. There will be a big hole in the Krell family for a long time, and my prayer is that the words in this guest book will help ease the terrible pain and loss they must all be feeling.
