Dr. Ronald Crawford
Dave and I were very close friends at Friday Harbor High School and Washington State University. We continued to keep in touch in the early years of our careers. I remember Reed, Dan and Jennifer when they were young children. There was a combined class reunion of Friday Harbor High School in early October of this year. I received a wonderful message from Dave explaining that he would not be able to attend due to his illness. I shared with everyone at the reunion Dave's comments. I am now sitting here thinking about the great times we had growing up on San Juan Island. There are a lot of fond memories. Dave is an example that great people can accomplish great things, even if they grew up on a small remote island. I wish to express my condolences to Dave's entire family.
