I was just getting to know Dan as an adult in the recent years even though our families were around each other growing up (Christmas Eve and other events). Our moms were best friends. Dan was a very kind person. When he found out that I started a business he wanted to support it. He treated every student in his department to my treats doubling his kindness! No shocker there. Dan will be very very missed and always loved.

Dan and I worked together ar Bennigans. I will cherish all those memories we made. You were so kind and your laugh was so contagious. I will miss you so much, love you(The help). Inside joke between him and I.

We're all so deeply saddened by Dan's unexpected and untimely passing. I know he is with his loving parents, grandparents, and additional family and friends on the other side. Still, he is going to be missed here. Dan was so warm, funny, and mystical, too. He looked so much like my aunt (his grandmother)! I enjoyed the talks we had about his memories and experiences. His memory is a blessing and he will be in my nightly prayers for peace. With love to you, Amanda. - Scarlett & David

I knew I was going to love Dan from the first moment we met. His larger than life personality was so infectious. It didn’t matter what you were doing, if you were with Dan you had a great time. He was special. He was one of a kind. -Die hard is not a Christmas movie. Tootles Dan

You are loved and will always be missed. Enjoy the welcome home party your parents and grandparents are having for you. Please give all a hello and hug from me.

Danny's parents Jimmy and Joanna were close friends with my folks when I was growing up, and I have great memories growing up with Danny and with Deana before her untimely passing (and with Amanda to a lesser extent since she was significantly younger.) I remember rough housing at pool parties, trying to break dance on a big piece of cardboard outside of Danny's folks' house in Comus, and stuffing Danny into the back of my stationwagon on the way to field parties after football games at Gonzaga. My father used to see Danny working the restaurant scene in the Clarksburg MD area, and Dan would reach out to me to me here and there to check up on my dad and to say hello. Just a truly kind and thoughtful person, and I know a lot of people like me will miss him. Chris
