Sue Forshaw, David's best friend and secretary for more than 25 years, wrote this in memory of David:
David Wallace was full of life and love for his family and many friends. An attorney with offices in Evanston, he was always ready to help and lend a non-judgmental ear to friends and strangers alike.
Everyone who knew Dave knew of his love for Tyler, his little Carin Terrier. Tyler brought such joy to Dave. He spent as many of his free-time hours as possible taking Tyler to the Puptown dog park on Marine Drive in Chicago. He delighted in seeing Tyler run and play with all of the dogs. Tyler was rarely intimidated, no matter how small or large the dogs.
Dave was a great recruiter for Puptown. He was very impressed with how the park was maintained and with the activities that are available to the dog park participants. He met and made many friends there and did his best to tell everyone he knew who had a dog to try the park.
The loss of Dave and his loyal companion, Tyler, has left a large void in the hearts of all who have had the opportunity to know him. Dave would indeed be grateful for any donations made on his behalf to the Puptown dog park.
