Not sure what to say?

Daniel was my History teacher at Lick-Wilmerding High School. He was very stimulating and 50 years later I still remember things he said and taught. He had our class read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. After that he took us on a class field trip to the James Allen meat packing plant, slaughter house. The best field trip ever!

I continue to have conversations with Daniel; I hear his voice clearly; I reimagine the many times we roamed over so many topics and interests. His was a bright and sharp intellect; his was a heart of joy and and compassion. Miss you, dear friend!

my husband and i have very warm memories of dan from Tunis in the 60's. he was the sort of person who would suddenly open the door of your car and leap in when you were stopped at a stoplight (and hadn't seen him!) -- we often speak of him; i am very sorry to hear of his death.

Daniel was my uncle and was the true definition of a wonderful uncle. He cared for me when I was small child. He was a friend to my mom, dad, brothers and sisters. He was a friend to me. He was a man of peace. He always spoke his mind and in his sweet kind way would let me know when he disagreed with my young radical ways.

On behalf of Lick-Wilmerding High School where Dan taught history for many years, our prayers and thoughts are with Dan's family. We thank him for his many years of service to the school and for inspiring students to embrace the complexity of history and how it reverberates in our lives today.

Sincerely,

Eric Temple

a life long friend. condolences - rob prince/denver

Daniel was a former colleague of mine in the 1980s in San Francisco. We remained good friends for many years-long after I left California for Oregon and then the East Coast. I always looked forward to visiting Daniel and Dana when I was in California. Daniel was a true renaissance man: he loved art, politics, ideas, literature, good food and drink. He lived well and worked passionately on his writing which is his enduring legacy to us, the living. I miss him.

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Daniel, but grateful for his service to our nation with the Peace Corps in Tunisia.

Our Condolences,
