My memories of Dan go back to childhood. I haven't seen him since 1964, but the memories and good. May God bless all of his family and friends.

I choose to remember the Dan who had a great tenor voice, unending trivial information to share, and above all was there for his family that he loved so much. I am thankful to have known him.
Condolences to all of you.

Dan - you will greatly be missed. While my tenure at IWIF you were always kind, common sensical, and yet could make me laugh. RIP!

I am so terribly sorry to hear of Dan's passing. He was a sweet man, a congenial collegue; the only bow tie wearer I knew. My prayers are with you in your time of great loss. Anne E. Hoke

Dan was more than just a co-worker at IWIF, he was a dear friend. He geniunely cared about people and was the true meaning of a gentleman. He always made the effort to keep in touch and I am so glad that he did!
His stories of his dogs were very entertaining and his Facebook entries were always amusing.
I hope that the many great memories help everyone find comfort that Dan lived a full life and made a difference in the lives of so many.
My sincerest condolences to his family.

Danny and myself, along with Janet Davis, were close friends and playmates, especially during our elementary years at Peyton School. I have fond memories of us looking at stars through his telescope, playing with his Lionel trainset in the basement, and being in Scouting together. Danny and his family introduced me to purebred dogs and dog showing. My deepest sympathy to Kathie, Cliff, and Tim.,

Valerie and I extend our deepest sympathy to all those who mourn Dan. As former Commanding General of the Maryland Defense Force, I am especially grateful for Dan's volunteer service to the men and women of the Maryland Military Department and his service on active duty during the War in Viet Nam.

Kathie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. How wonderful it was to see you two at our last reunion and smile at our long time friendship. A card sent to me at a time of loss had this note: "There is an Eskimo legend that the stars are merely holes in the sky where our lost loved ones look down to let us know they are okay." II find it hard not to smile when looking up on a starlit night...just in case. Warm thoughts of friendship. Laquita Wooddell

I have had the pleasure of knowing Dan for a very long time, both when he was at IWIF and with the County. He was truly a generous and kind gentleman.Dan and I would exchange dog stories, Grandchildren and Children stories. Dan had some good old boy stories from the Commission. He will be truly missed. My deepest sorrow to his entire family for their loss.

My condolences to all the family. I can only claim a passing acquaintence through his infrequent visits to the choir since I joined the church, but he always had a twinkle in the eye, a pleasant good morning. He carried himself proud. May those memories remain.

From our first meeting in h.s., I knew Dan was special, kind, witty...oh so many other things. How he's going to be missed! Reunions were always better if Danny & Kathie were there. Wish we were still in No. VA so I could make it to the service. Praying for strength and comfort for Kathie and the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Dan while he was at IWIF and he always had the time for conferencing cases or just a general conversation which I thoroughly enjoyed. He was a man of integrity and always a gentleman. He never forgot sending me a card for all the Jewish holidays even after he left IWIF. I will miss those cards, but more than that I will miss his humor, integrity, the bow ties and his quick wit. More than anything I will miss him. Stan Rogosin

We will so miss Dan's entertaining personality, warm charm and New Year's Eve dinners with our mutual friends.

In my years as a WC claimant settlement negotiator, I settled many cases with Dan. He always made me laugh, and with his insight and soft wit, achieved his goal of getting me to "rethink that demand". A man of the law with a true understanding of human nature and psychology, he was a gift. He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief. It is my hope that time allows you to remember the happy and recall him with the smile and chuckle he would always give you. God bless.

I have known Dan for many years as a fellow lawyer. He was a true gentleman and exemplified dignity and class. Always considerate of all involved inside and outside of any litigation, Dan was a model for how to treat everyone with human dignity. He will be missed by all those whose life he touched.

April 25, 2012
I met Dan at The University Of Baltimore School Of Law and enjoyed working with him on too many workers' compensation claims. A wondeful and kind human being who was taken from us to early in life. His family will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Dan for 5 years back when I was a much younger lawyer. Dan took me under his wing and I learned much law under his tutelage but even more about how to conduct myself both as a professional and as a person. I carry those lessons to this day. He was shockingly funny as well, and always ready with a pithy quote either from the bible or from baseball. He was a kind and gentle sprit with a deep love of sports, particularly baseball. I will miss him greatly.

Kathie and family, I had the pleasure of working with Dan in the 90's at CNA and continuing our friendship in the years since. I will always think of him as such a kind gentleman. We talked often about singing, his church and family. He spoke with such affection about each of you, and often greeted me with pictures of his granchildren. I will miss him greatly.

I worked with Dan at the Injured Workers' Insurance Fund and he made me feel so welcome right from the beginning. I especially loved his sense of humor and the green hat that he gave everyone when he left to work for Baltimore County. A most beautiful soul who will be missed. This one hurts.
