I am very sad to see just today that Dave DuBois has passed away. I was looking him up online to reconnect after an email from another acquaintance prompted me with this: ""They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them."" I shall never forget Dave DuBois. I worked with him for 1-1/2 years at NFRWQPA and found him to be -- and I truly  mean this, no pun intended, even though he would chuckle at it -- a true Renaissance man! He was a gentleman, he loved art, he had natural charity, he was as sporty as they come even for 'an old guy,' and was a very wise and understanding man. He had one hip replaced while I was in his employ, and it was so uplifting to see a man take adversity so joyfully. I can count on one hand the number of men who have truly made a positive impact in my memory, and Dave DuBois is one of them. May your spirit soar eternally, Dave DuBois. My sincerest condolences to his closest loved ones.

Dave and I were volunteers at the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program where Dave worked hard to master his bird handling skills. He was enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. His is missed. My condolences to the family. Jeane

Dear Jesus,
Thank you for guiding Dave and Sally together for this lovely season of life and grace.  You answered Sally's prayers, and ours, with love and joy!  My brief moments with Dave told me more than enough, he was Your man.  Bless his huge family, and especially Sally, and remind them that they are the answer to somebody else's prayers today.  Thank you for Dave.

I worked with Dave when he was a member of the NPS Council.  He was always so supportive and kind that I selfishly didn't want him to retire.  I did meet Sally once on an airplane and remember what a happy couple I saw.  The world is less bright.

Dave was an outstanding person and a joy to work with.  His work with the Northern Colorado Water Quality Planning Association helped many communities.  My prayers and thoughts are with the family, may the peace of the Lord and His grace be with you. God Bless,

I knew Dave through NFRWQPA. He was one of a kind. My condolences to your family. Gods blessings on you.

Dear Sally,
I am so very sorry to hear about Dave. What a wonderful man he was. He was a classmate from junior high school on through high school and then we both attended CSU. I can still sing the SAE fraternity song! He was a real football hero, a true gentleman, someone we all looked up to and he had that wonderful smile! A smile you can never  forget. My prayers are with you,Sally, and the entire family. What an empty world it will be without him. He must now be in peace, after all of his illness. My best to you. Beverly

My condolence and deepest sympathy and prayers go out to Sally & the
family. I went to Cheyenne High School was Dave and remember him from
ROTC,and various sports. RIP Dave we all will always cherish knowing
you. Your CHS 1956 Classmate Ralph Long

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Hello Sally;
So sad to hear about Davids passing..  I have so many wonderful memories of him: especially during my 1988 campaign for commissioner.  He did not miss a night of running door to door with me.  I also remember the special nighs we had with dinner at your house or ours (past Linda). Bless you and the family.  My thoughts are with you and the loss of a very dear person.  Hugs  Moe

Our thoughts and paryers are with the family.

I feel like I missed out by not knowing David, but I know Sally who is a PEO member, and my heart goes out to you and your family at this time of sorrow. Hopefully you can hold those wonderful memories close to you to bring comfort and peace in the days ahead.  I'm sorry I could not attend the celebration but I will be thinking of you.

To the family of Dave Dubois:

I was a Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity brother to Dave while in school at CSU and was so saddened to hear of his passing.
I will always remember him as a gentle kind and sharing older ""brother"" in our fraternity. He set a great example of what true character should be in a person even as a college student.
My condolences to all of you family members - we have all lost a wonderful gentleman.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of David. I was john's good friend in High School. He was as the obituary says kind, generous, accomplished, and active. He let me live there in his home for a short spell in HS and made me feel welcome and like one of his kids. I remember winning a basketball tournament with him and his sons at the Fort Collins Club. He had a strong code he lived by and I am sure all that knew him mourn today. Even 20 years later he inspires for me. I have a 1987  BMW 535i in my driveway that runs like a top. I am sorry for your loss it is all of ours. I only hope that someday when My son is grown and my career is over I elect to give back to my community as this man did.  he was a good man.

Sally,
My deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family.

You are in my thoughts at this difficult time. Know that you are surrounded by love.

Auntie Sally and cousins, we love you and we pray God's blessings of peace and comfort on you as you grieve Uncle Dave's passing.  He was such a friendly and kind person; we know you will miss him greatly.  Much love, Betsy and Tom Mahan, Alyssa and Daniel.

Sally, I am so sad for your loss.  I really enjoyed working with David and you.  You are both in my prayers.  David was a special guy.

My sincere sympathy and prayers go to Sally and all of Dave's family.  I'm so sorry I won't be able to attend the services, but my heart will be with you all.

John & Pat-My heartfelt condolences to you. Although it's been along time, I have very fond memories of your Dad. The DuBois Family is in my thoughts.

Dave was a shining light of kindness.  He cared for his fellow volunteers and birds here at the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program with great compassion.  He had a fervent desire to help in any way possible.  His passing has affected many volunteers and staff here that worked with him.  He had such a big heart.  He will be missed!

Please accept my sincere condolences.  Having served with Dave on Colorado Delta House Corporation Board, I grew to tremendoously respect him, and truly enjoy his friendship.  Will not be able to attend the service, however, your famiy will be in my thoughts throughout Saturday December 10th.  Sincerely, Bill Houston

Dave has always been a compltely positive and energizing influence upon me.From 1964 onto this very time, his was the firm handshake and smile which would lift me up and trim my sails for a better course through-out whatever lay ahead. He is a giant of a man and Brother who will stay with me in the lessons he taught me along the path in our time together.

I will always have a picture of Dave in my mind of the two of us hiking around the mountains up at the cabin. And what a magnificent picture that is! Independent. Generous. Loving. Interesting. And now at peaceful rest. We are grateful to have been able to know Dave. We hurt for those closest to him. Know that we lift up Dave's family and extended family in our prayers.

Dave was such a joy to work with at the Raptor Program. Even when his body didn't always want to work, his spirit would not let him stop. We will miss him.

Dave was a True Gentleman, a Leader, a Friend, and a Great Brother to all of his fellow 
SAE's. Dave will be missed, but his memories will be held close to all of us who shared 
time with him, and we will all see him again to shake his hand in the future. God Bless
David, and his family. In the Bonds, Phil Foster
