Daniel you and the memories you bring will always have a place in my heart. Like the time you told me and my tribe the story of Hannukah. You were a sweet, loving, warm man and I'm so glad I got to meet you. Rest in peace dear friend and my love goes to Hannah, Sis, and Ben.

Daniel left a rich legacy at the Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo, where he served as minister during 1984-88. His ever-compelling description of sympathy for the human condition has served the congregation well. We are grateful to have spent time with you, Daniel.

Thanks, Daniel. We only met once, and you offered advice and inspiration to a teenage would-be writer.
I never forgot you, and never will.

Dear friends and family of Daniel. He will be greatly missed. Daniel was my friend for many years, then my minister, and also became a friend of my late husband, Stan.
He will always be in our hearts. Much love to all his family and friends.
