Like most brilliant people - David was 100 MPH on things that interested him (a lot of topics!) and was a very talented keyboard player among his many hobbies. He was always curious and looking towards the next big thing. I am sure he's figuring that out in Heaven as we struggle with his leaving us behind.
May God Bless you David Sass .. you were a very good man and a trusted friend.
Rest in peace.
