Dearest Sarah,
I can sincerely say that I know how difficult it is to lose your father. I lost my father and brother a year apart. They have never left me in my thoughts and heart. I am so grateful to have my memories and share in the memories of family and friends who loved them as dearly.

I am so moved by your cousin's words to your father, "I will never forget your blunt words of wisdom, your love of life and all things music."

You are obviously one of the most beautiful memories he took with him.

Love,
Vicki

Danny was a friend since the early '70s when my husband, Bato, and he coached SNF basketball teams. He and Bato were extremely instrumental in the creation of the SNF Intermediate Division. They formed a friendship that blossomed out of a gentlemen's competetive and instructional love for our Serbian youth. He recently shared with us his passion for his continued education and his great pride of his three adult children and family. He will be missed and his family is wished the deepest of sympathies.
Slava mu!

My deepest sympathies for Dan's family and closest friends. I knew Dan as an "untraditional" graduate student, the most interesting kind. His work on Milwaukee music scenes was sharp, witty, and was headed toward becoming a local classic and the standard text of the topic -- and completely his own unique work, told from an insider's perspective. I add my name to the long list of those who will miss Dan, and mourn his passing.
