First let me offer my sincere condolences to all the Millikin Family, at this very difficult time. I was Dave's paralegal at the Public Defender's office when he first started working there, in the town court section. I shared many laughs and frustrations over the years we worked together. One event in particular changed my life as a result of my connection to Dave and his wedding with Nancy. And I bring this up because the wedding reception was the best party ever. I was in costume (and in fact, won the prize for being most outrageous). Additionally, it was at that reception that I started a friendship with Don,another attorney who was at the Public Defender Office.He ended up driving me home because of the the good cheer we consumed that night. And we still have an ongoing relationship - to this day. And as tradition goes, every Halloween, we still toast to the Millikin reception - and will likely continue to do so. The second event that comes to mind is a P.D. golf tournament. (1987 Indigent Open). I have a photo of a young Dave along with Dan DeLaus, myself, and a couple of other P.D. folks. I would be happy to mail the photo to you if you are interested in collecting more old photos. I am now working at the District Attorney office, and so surprised to hear so many people mention Dave and his passing. He was loved, known by so many,and will be missed. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I have many cherished memories as a young man with Dave. Among them was spending the afternoon of our high school graduation delivering papers and "celebrating" as we went along. Not to mention beaten time and time again at "hatrick", a game he invented where losing was winning. But I have to say that I was deeply saddened when I heard of his passing. Although after he left the area we didn't see each other that much,when we did we picked as though we saw each other last week. This is something that brothers do. I always looked up to and admired Dave. He was always level headed, a thinker and kind. He always did the right thing. He had qualities and values that take a lifetime to learn. To all Dave's family I wish you all peace and love. Bye Dave, your old friend & brother, Barry

My condolences to David's children, wife and family. It has been years since David and I seen each other but I can recall the days of David working in the law department at MCDHS. What a great guy!: ). It seemed he always was able to place humor and a sense of calm on the many cases we shared in court. I thank him for the memories. God bless you all and may he rest in peace.

I worked w/Dave @ the Law Dept., Children's Services Unit (along w/Celeste & Mark Maves) from 1992 until he left in 2000/2001(?). Dave was a great mentor & teacher. When I first started I knew nothing about PINS/JD cases & Dave taught me everything & kind of took over as the attorney handling all those cases. He created forms to make my job easier & he always willingly (and jovially) answered all of my questions (& I had alot of them). I remember my 1st day on the job. Dave walked into the office Celeste & I shared & informed me that I was the "Part 6" Trial Assistant & told me what this meant & what I would have to do. He explained everything to me which was a great help. I've always thought of Dave as a friend, although I haven't seen him in quite awhile (for which I am deeply sorry). Dave always treated me & made me feel, like his equal. He never talked down to me or made me feel "less than" he was. In other words, he was not your "typical" attorney. Dave also had a desire & knack for being direct & he disliked overly excessive & redundant language in documents (in other words, he disn't like typical legal writing) & he attempted to make our office more efficient He created forms & shortcuts for which I will be forever grateful (many of his forms are still being used). For a short period of time, I was Dave's assigned Trail Assistant which I thought was great. I was incredibly bummed when Dave left CSU. I missed him tremendously. I missed working with him & talking to him & laughing with him. I always meant to visit him at home over these past few months, but I kept putting it off. I greatly regret that. I will miss Dave & miss knowing that he is there. I will always consider Dave as a friend rather than a co-worker. I know he is in a better place & free from pain. Please know that you are all in my prayers.
