Dana worked for us for many years at Westside Tire but he was much more to us than just an employee. Dana was our friend. He will be missed by all of us and the many people he help through out his years with us. Dana had away of make things that seemed impossible to fix possible!! He had so much talent and know how that it was stunning watch. I asked him many times if i could clone him. He would just laugh and say nope I'm one of a kind and one of a kind he was. We all here at Westside Tire send our condolences to his family. He will be truly missed.
