Dear Widman Family,

I first met Dave back in 2005 when I was a new employee at ONI and we went on to work with him on many different projects since. This however is not the highlight of my time knowing him. While Dave was a true patriot for our Nation, I will emphasize the fact that he put so much effort into his work to ensure his family and kids were well taken care of. Family was by far was his number one goal and for that he should be commended. I pray for family healing and comfort in his passing and even though he probably didn’t mention many folks at work, he will be missed by many.
