I was fortunate to have known Dave for many years. He was a honest and sincere person who led by example. As a County Agent he was widely respected by all of those in the tree fruit industry. Dave had a huge impact in leading the industry into the 21st century. As the County Agent in Milton-Freewater that followed Dave's tenure there I know first hand that the growers held him in the highest esteem. Thank you Dave, you'll be missed, but not forgotten. Tom
