    We were very sad to hear about Dave’s passing. He was a huge part of my life (Blair Baker) for a long time and he always knew the right thing to say to put a smile on our faces in the toughest times at DSA. I have had other people in the industry contact me to pass on condolences to the family as well. Our hearts are with you at this difficult time.
