Though I haven't seen him in years, growing up he was always my friend's cool older brother who would talk and get to know to his younger brother's friends. Great guy!. Very sad to hear this news.

He was a very precious man, friend and love to you and father to Madelene and Samuel. I know how deeply he loved you and the children. His love of life, artistry, creativity but more than any of that, was how much he treasured you and his family. My deepest condolences. Much love, Aunt Nancy, cousins, Andrea, Rebekah and Natalie

Rose, Madeline and Samuel, the wonderful, sweet human being we have lost, loved, cherished and adored you. At our breakfasts every Thursday, he would tell me of all the lovely things his amazing family would be involved in the past week. Dan is loved. You are loved. We have lost a giant, but the thing about love (and loss) is that we carry our people with us, wherever we go. Forever I will miss my friend of 30 years, but I know you will carry his legacy. Bear hugs
