My deepest sympathy to the Baskin family. We were close friends during the early 70s and I was his best man for his first wedding. I can not express my disbelief and sorrow at his son's and his passing. I understand fully his grief for the loss of his son. Danny will be deeply missed by myself and my brothers,(Chris and Gary) as we all hung out together skating at Knoebel's. He will be forever in my heart, thoughts and prayers. See you on the other side, Skin!

Baskin family,
My deepest condolences go out to all family members. I worked with Dan at Hexcel for the short time he was there and also lived a few blocks from his home. In that short period of time I found him to be a hard worker and enjoyable to talk with. I'm sure he will be missed by his coworkers and myself. May comfort come to all of his family in this time of sorrow.
