Your dad was a fine lawyer and a gentleman as well. We worked together while he was at Interior and then he represented my client in an interminable Claims Court case while he was at DOJ. I know you will miss him greatly.

Whit was a very decent guy! I vividly remember traveling out to Seattle with him for a hearing on an acknowledgment case. His prep for the hearing with DOI reps was scruplous and done in a very relaxed and confident manner. I also worked with him on some of the Pueblo ICCA cases. He was very fast on the uptake and when I wasn't keeping up with his keen thinking, he always had patience with me to reexplain his thinking again. He consistently did so with a wonderfully great, friendly, and warm smile which I remember to this day. My prayers are with him and family now and in the future because I will not forget him. His friend, Dan Steele
