Earlier today

My father David L Blaine was a good man. He was there for his children when possible. Like my siblings I am proud of the great achievements. Being the 1st Jamaican black man owner of D L Blaine corporation to work on the building of the World Trade Center in NYC. One of my favorite contracts he had was working on FAO Schwartz. I will never forget and he will miss him. RIP .

Yesterday

My father, David Blaine, was an influential figure in the electrical industry. He was a pioneer in working on various mainstream projects in New York City, including the World Trade Center as well as with the Port Authority and MTA. Being able to go with him to various projects as a teenager is one memory I will never forget. He will be missed. RIP.

Yesterday

My father was talented, hardworking, and generous. I was always proud to share that he became the first minority contractor to receive a contract over one million dollars for electrical work on the World Trade Center, along with other major projects throughout New York City. His achievements were remarkable, but the quiet, personal acts of love he showed me are the memories I cherish most.
My father wasn´t perfect, but he was present. He made sacrifices, he tried, he cared, and he loved me in the way he understood love. For all of that-and for the peace we found later in life-I am profoundly grateful.

My condolences to the Blaine family. My god carry you through this difficult time. Stay strong and keep your family and friends close.
