Dan HEINO Obituary
Dan enjoyed much in life despite being unwell for 10 years. Always supportive and life affirming, Dan obtained his BSC in biology from McGill and his MLS from UBC. Dan is survived by his wife, Beverley, his sister Bonnie, his brothers Carl and Paul, as well as his devoted niece Angela, and many other nieces, nephews, cousins, Janet and Ken. Dan truly cared about the UBC Library and his colleagues. Dan loved music, animals, and nature. He was a peacemaker who defended all who were unfairly treated. Dan had a quirky sense of humour and an intelligence that encompassed science, spirituality and the humanities. Dan was well cared for by Elisa, Doug, Norm, Windermere and Fair Haven. Service at 602 Kingsway at 10 a.m. on February 28, 2015. Donations can be made to any animal rights group.

I knew Dan and Bev in the last few years of Dan's life. I saw a very tender and compassionate relationship between the two. Bev gave Dan everything he might possibly need to feel companionship. I feel Dan is still around now with you Bev giving any support you need, as you did him. My condolences to you and all Dan's close family and friends.

Dan and I had careers that ran a parallel course in the 1980's, except he seemed to succeed at some things I gave up on. But he was so charming when I finally met him in person that it was impossible to do other than applaud his successes, and I enjoyed the times we worked together. He was always there when things were tough with gentle humour and support,the offer of a ride, or a ticket to a concert. A truly good person, he will be missed.

I first met Dan at a conference in Washington State in the 1990's. He had a good sense of humour and was able to speak with people on a wide range of topics. A good guy.

A fine man and a loss to the university and the community. He was blessed to have Bev as his constant advocate during these last trying years. My condolences to family and other friends.

Dan was a great cousin and friend.
The world would be free of war, starvation and persecution if Dan had been in charge. He was a true man of honour.
I miss him.
