Dear Karen and Family,
I have just learned of Dan's passing and am heartbroken for all of you. Dan made an immeasurable contribution to the D.C. Courts and will be greatly missed. I am also personally indebted to Dan for his guidance during the early years of our strategic planning effort. Dan's advice, encouragement and steadfast support were essential to our success. Dan was also one of the kindest and most warm-hearted gentleman I have met. He spoke with such love and admiration about his family, sharing treasured photos on each visit.
I extend my deepest condolences and prayers for your family.

Dr. Daniel Straub was truly a one-of-a-kind person, coach, counselor, cheerleader, and extraordinary teacher-leader who made a lasting impression on my life. He left an indelible leadership legacy. It was more than an honor to have met Dan (wife Karen) and have been blessed to work with and through him 17 of my 19 years at the DC Courts Center for Education and Training. He guided for me with my doctoral dissertation, as the dean of the Institute for Court Management (ICM), National Center for State Courts (NCSC) he approached and hand-picked me to participate in the first-rate ICM Fellows program, and by way of my personal request, he was my project advisor. He taught and consulted for the DC Courts for many years, but I had the unique opportunity to work with and through Dan, as he also taught for the DC Courts flagship Management Training Program (MTP) for the last 10 years and made countless contributions to the courts and the program. For this reason, and so many others, I say, thank you very kindly, Dan! I will always remember you! And, so it goes

Dean Straub was, perhaps, the greatest teacher I've ever had. His stories, coaching, chaperoning us to the shoe store, to church. Life lessons. He was so unique and I feel so blessed to have known him.

Dean Straub has been a great mentor. He provided so many of his students with significant guidance during his tenure at the NCSC. I hope I am able to continue to display similar passion for leadership as he did. Dan will be missed.

Dan will be missed greatly! I have such fond memories of his wisdom and expertise, his sense of humor, and his calm and steady way. He was my professor back in 1988-1990, yet Dan always offered helpful and spot-on advice when I would call or email seeking his counsel throughout the years. Dan also always had a big smile and hug whenever I'd see him at conferences or classes. He's a real treasure - my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dr. Straub was my absolute favorite grad school professor. As a court manager/administrator, I was also fortunate to work with him and his consulting firm over the years. To this day, I still share his wise words with my staff, particularly the phrase "MBWA - Management By Walking Around". My sincerest condolences to Dr. Straub's family, friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed.
