Barbara, We have only known each other for a short time, but Kev and I want you to know we are here if you need us, right next door, knock or call anytime. I know what you must feel, and I definitely know how Andrea and Martin are feeling because I lost my brother 10 years ago. Robbi was the same age as David when he died. The emotions are still fresh sometimes. The void is always there but coping does get easier with time. Please let them know I am here for them as well if they need to talk. Your family is in my prayers. ~hugs~ Dee

I remember the first time I met Dave. He was a freshman and I was a sophomore at HHS. I was fortunate enough to know Dave and his brother Martin. We all played basketball for HHS. Dave used to wear his wrist bands almost up to his arm pits!!! In all seriousness, the last time I saw Dave was in .98. He had the same smile, the same sense of humor and always goal oriented.Those are some of the elements that I will never forget when I think about him. My condolences go out to his family.
Martin, to you and your family from mine – Our deepest and most heart-felt condolences. Always truely yours, Beatriz Pagan

He brightened all of our lives and touched us all. He will continue to live in our hearts and memories. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to know David and love him.

To the Anderson family: Trooper David F. Anderson was a wonderful person. I met Dave only about 6-1/2 years ago while working at Yale. He became a good friend, and generally left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He displayed a zeal for life and shared with me his desire to serve his community as a state trooper one day; he took his duties as an officer very seriously. He had so much more to offer to the world. Although my friendship with him was brief, his memories will be cherished. He will be missed. My prayers are with each of you.
To the family of Trooper David Anderson, my family and I would like to share our condolences for the loss of your son, we are so sorry.

David was my best childhood friend and neighbor. From our running all the way home from elementary school to the snow ball fights every winter – David always had fun and brought a smile to my face. I am truely a better person for knowing him. My heart and prayers are with the Anderson family.
