Dave explained the importance of a fair teachers' contract to a group of Keewaydin Road neighbors in the early 1980's .He brought reason, value and community to that gathering and continued in his work as a State Legislator. He educated and lived the truth of the democracy. A kind, gentle and loving man ,yet he may make a few suggestions to improve Heaven .Not with us today but his work continues.

I worked with David his first year in the House. Couldn't find a better person. I am so sorry for his family. He told me often about his daughter's love of animals. You will be missed.

As a former teacher at Kingswood, I remember David as one whom the students loved and who loved his students. A true gentleman and the consummate educator he left his mark on so many young minds and now our hearts.

So sorry to hear of your loss. John loved Richard's music at St. Luke's in Wilton and I know he was enthusiastic about my entering the priesthood. We enjoyed his visits here and talking with him.

My sincere condolences to David's family. I met David only twice for lunch in Concord with his nephew, Scott, a few years ago and was touched by David's passion for our State and understanding the issues, compassion and respect toward others, and his warmth as a person. Although I did not know him well or for very long, it was immediately obvious to me he was a great man.

I had the pleasure of serving with David on the NH Canadian Trade Council. I found he to be full of conviction in the causes he loved and tolerant of those he disagreed with, all while always have a smile. Rest well my friend.

To Sarah, Beth and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I am trying to come up with something comforting to say, but words are failing me. Know I am thinking of you and praying for you and, despite the time it has been since seeing you, grieving for you as well. "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted."
Sincerely, Erin (Heppe) Dauphinais

Lew and I will miss David. He was a rock in the Davison family and leaves a spot that can never be filled. We are all better because of him, more connected to the extended family and appreciative of his love for all of us. He is with the Lord now and is continually being amazed at all the glory he is experiencing! Blessings on his family.

Pat & I were deeply saddened by news of David's passing and hope you, all the members of his family, find comfort in knowing you will be in our thoughts and prayers. He will always be remembered for bringing his infectious smile to the many discussions and decisions in which we participated. He earned and brought life to the title "Honorable."

David was a wonderful teacher, mentor and colleague. At the Model Congress at AIC, David was a role model for his students and his peers. His participation in Close-Up over many years provided his students with an understanding and appreciation of how government impacts their lives and the lives of fellow citizens. He embodied the word "gentleman". RIP my friend.

Mr. Knox inspired me as a student, pushed me to do better and go further. His love of government, politics and civics lead me to a career in journalism. Years later when covering the State House for a NH media outlet he knew who I was right away, and again pushed me to reach higher. His legacy lives on through many.
