My name is Bill Harper and Dan and I was close friends during our years as Evans Scholars at Marquette University; He and I both caddied at Beverly country Club and we enjoyed playing many basketball games with each other; We were roommates at the Scholar House and he attended my wedding at the south side of Chicago; I moved to Michigan to pursue my career and Dan and I lost contact with each other but i am extremely sad to hear of his passing; He was great guy one could count on in all matters!! The world lost a great man in his passing!!
