Always a giving and caring individual, Dan will be forever missed. Whether a wave from the deck as we walked the ninth fairway, sharing a beverage and laugh in the grill room or challenging anyone to a 30 second headstand, Dan made everyone smile as he touched so many people in so many ways.
Mari, we feel your pain during this difficult time and you will long be in our our thoughts and prayers.

The last fight of your life was a long and tough one against an insidious and powerful opponent. Fortunately, you had Mari in your corner right through to the end. Rest easy now, champ; you both have earned it!
The rest of us who were privileged to know you will never forget you and the many good times we enjoyed together.

Danny will always be remembered by us in our prayers. We always had fun in the 70's playing golf, having parties, and really just loving life. I'll never forget our road trips to the Springsteen concerts, weekend nights at StainGlass Pub, and cleaning up in the mornings after our house parties.
He is a great guy and will be missed by all.

We will always remember Dan for his smile that lit up a room, his sense of humor, his great calzones, what an amazing dresser he was, and all the fun times at Argyle (especially his adept skill of standing on his head). Mari, we feel your pain during this difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Jackie, Joe, Christina, Sydney and Michael

Dan had the gift of bringing the joy of life to us all. Of the many, many times that he raised my spirits, I'm thinking of a beautiful sunny opening day of the baseball season in 1986, when he picked me up to go to the Orioles game, with his car's tape player carefully set to start John Fogerty's 'Centerfield' just as I stepped into his car. I was so happy just to be alive and with Dan that day that I knew I would remember that moment the rest of my life. Dan, I loved being your friend. Mari, my deepest sympathy. Love, Pat
