"Fr. Dave’s life has been documented in a book entitled “Camerado, I Give You My Hand: How a Powerful Lawyer-Turned Priest Is Changing the Lives of Men Behind Bars.” Fr. Dave was a leader, a teacher, and a visionary. To me he was a mentor, a dear friend, and “A Different Kind of Lawyer.” May God grant him his reward as a "good and faithful servant.” Please pray for his family, those whom he served, and those of us who loved him."
—Yours in Notre Dame, Marcus Cole ( The Joseph A. Matson Dean and Professor of Law Notre Dame Law School)
