Dave committed to fairness

I was so saddened to learn of Dave's sudden death. That is a dreadful loss to The Citizen, to the entire community and to the world of journalism.

Dave was really and truly an editor's editor. Having sat in that seat for other newspapers, I always appreciated Dave's quiet wit, his calm approach as deadlines swirled nearby, his keen eye for a story and his zest for the truth.

He was forever fair, totally committed to the profession, and dedicated to the principles that good journalists live by day in and day out.

Dave Hamrick will be greatly missed by all of Fayette County. I know his memory will live on in all who seek the truth and are not afraid to print it. My sympathy to all the staff and prayers to his family on the loss of this giant of a man.
