It was always such a joy to hear my late husband's grandmother, Fanny McMillan Faulk, speak of her love for David Britt and his family from Fairmont & McDonald. Our thoughts are with your family.

I had the honor and privilege to know Judge Britt when I clerked for the late Chief Justice Joe Branch back in the late 70's-early 80's. Judge Branch considered David Britt to be one of the finest genlemen and lawyers he had ever known. I developed a deep appreciation for Judge Britt's kindness, compassion, and scholarship while I worked with him during those years. He leaves an enduring and profound legacy and will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies go to the family at this emotional time.
