It's hard to believe that you have been gone for 17 years. I really miss you. You are a true friend.
David was a true friend and a very unique individual. Everyone knew where they stood with David Wall. I was fortunate to have called him one of my closest friends for the last 20 years. David touched us all and his legacy will live on. Wall we love you and you will be missed . I hope whereever you are the fish are always biting, the horses are always running and everyday is a game day .
David was one of my closest friends. He not only was one of the most diverse people I know -- good athlete, highly intelligent, wide range of interests -- but he possessed qualities you want in a friend. He was probably the most honest person I have ever known. He was absolutely loyal. He was genuine. But he also was forgiving and patient. I think all of his friends would agree that he was as solid as a rock, and was always there for you, in good times and in bad.
We all know he was a great lawyer. I had the great fortune to act as co-counsel on a case with him a few years ago. I had a front row seat to watch David in the courtroom. He was great.
There is absolutely no doubt that his life had a significant impact on my life. There is not enough room here to express everything we all feel about David. His memory will be with us always.
David's dedication to his friends and fraternity was well known and appreciated. He will be missed by many. I was very sorry to hear of his untimely death. I extend my deepest sympathies to the family.
I first met David in the fall of 1985 when he joined what may go down as the best Sigma Nu pledge class of all time. He was one of the good guys; someone you always wanted around. Over the years through college, law school and law practice, he never lost the kindness, compassion and genuine concern for others that were his trademark. David was a superb lawyer, but he never lost sight of the truly important things in life. He lived life to the fullest, and we were lucky to share so many good times with him. I learned a lot from David, and I will miss him.
David was a very dedicated member at the Fayetteville Athletic Club. We have had the pleasure of his regular visits for over six years.
David always had a smile and a kind word to say to our employees and his many friends at the club. He will be missed by our staff and his handball partners.
David was a special person who always greeted you with a smile. He was real, genuine, true to himself and great guy. We'd usually run into each other while listening to live music at George's or Herman's or at some law funtion/party. I always enjoyed visiting with David and will miss him.
Being from Fayetteville and growing up
watching my brothers and their friends
laugh and live, David always stood out.
I received a call from my brother Paul,
who knew I hadn't heard yet...and after that, another call, and then another...
letting me know that David was gone.....
....he had that kind of impact....
David was a few years younger than I, but that didn't stop me from having tons of respct for him. He was self-motivated, intelligent, opinionated, and extremely funny. I was even a little envious at his ability to make others laugh and still maintain a professional attitude towards school and his career goals. I only regret NOT getting to know him better, while I had the opportunity back at Fayetteville, (UofA).
David had a passion for life. Everything he did was with all of his attention and energy; and he was always surrounded by his friends. He was alway kind and gracious to me. His family, the fraternity, his associates in the legal profession, and anyone who ever met David, will miss him. I will miss him.
My heartfelt condolences to all of you. "Big Dave" was someone I always respected, even though I was a year older. This is truly a sad time, but have comfort knowing he was a good person who made many lasting impressions. Even though I haven't seen "Big Dave" in twenty years, I am going to miss him.
