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.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I enjoyed being around Dave and appreciated what we were able to work on together over the years.

Phillippians 4:6,7 has brought me comfort over the years, maybe it can help your family now.
