As fellow lobbyists, David and I had the chance to work together quite often and I always enjoyed and admired his knowledge and expertise. More importantly, I came to understand what a fine person he was. His loss was not just the loss of an outstanding attorney but was also the loss of a fine, caring human being. I think about him often.

I had the pleasure of working with David literally from the first day I joined Kutak Rock. He accompanied me on a trip to Washington and treated me as if we had know each other for years. Since that time, we worked on many state and federal matters and developed a real friendship. David was taken way too early and will be missed by all those who knew him. May he Rest in Peace.

After sending the earlier message, I recalled that Kara and Max made up a regular playtime foursome with Lolo and Louie, for which we were grateful. I also should have stated how sorry we were to hear that you all lost not only a young mother, but a young dad as well.

We'll never forget the Karnes family, the best next-door neighbors we could ever imagine--loved having Lolo over for meals. And we always were so happy to hear Lolo's cheerful voice at the front door, "Is Louie there?"

To Dave´s wife and daughters, I am sorry for your loss. To Nana and my old friend Betsy, it is always hard to lose a sibling. I remember those football games in my brother put together with Tom, Dave and Charlie! The Lord bless and keep you and comfort you in your grief.
