Not sure what to say?

I loved his arrangements in the Readers Digest songbooks. I have many of them and his work has inspired me to continue playing piano for decades. It's amazing how one man's life can touch so many others. Thank you and RIP.

I have fond memories of playing with Dan, a warm and kind man who made a difference to a young musician.

My deepest sympathy. I guess he's met a lot of musicians in the afterlife by now. I worked for the Cultural Services, Tarpon Springs.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

He was a special person a real gentlemen with Talent, warmth, intellect and his great smile will be missed by all who new him.
My deepest condolence to JUNE and the family
