Lisa Wellman-Ally, President of the New Hampshire Bar Association released the following statement:

"David Nixon, who passed away Saturday, Nov. 1, is remembered fondly by his family, his many friends, and his colleagues in the New Hampshire Bar. Although he had his office in New Hampshire's largest city, I will always think of him as a community lawyer, a lawyer for the everyday person. What energized him, whether it was a regular case or a case where he volunteered his services, was empowering people who would otherwise not have a voice in our justice system. Dave Nixon also epitomized the community lawyer as someone who saw public service as an integral part of being a lawyer. His colleagues in the legal profession will miss him; New Hampshire will miss him."

Former NH Senate President David Nixon dies at 82, Union Leader, Nov. 1, 2014.
