I liked his music much better than his politics.
If elected to the Assembly, I promise to be as curmudgeonly as he is.

I’ve only met him once when I was a kid, but any time he has ever been in the limelight, he’s handled himself well. He just seems like a good man all-around. It will be sad to see him go.

Dave means a lot to me. I had considered writing something related to how local media figures want to use this opportunity to make their right wing bones, but, I thought I would tell this story and remember that civility trumps all.

Good sentiments and you legtimately had your own, unique personal slice. Dave Obey is truly an historic figure and I think that will become even more apparent to people as time goes on.
