I worked with David in the 1980’s when he was a loan officer at Fargo National Bank. He had a great number of customers that would only want to do business with him. He was very well liked. He also helped me by framing some amateur paintings I had done. I didn’t have much money then but he let me pay what a could, over time. I still have one of those paintings and I always admire the frame. He was a talented person in so many ways and will be remembered fondly by many. Rest in peace, Dave, and prayers to your family. – Emily Erickson – Hagen
