My condolences to Pat and all family members.
I had worked closely with Dave while employed at DSCC. His skills as a professional photographer were superb. He also had a special concern for his staff, as well as all of the employees of the Center.
Through his work in media services, he has left an important legacy to DSCC.

With heartfelt condolences to the family,
