Not sure what to say?

Robin, today our neighbor Gary Baldwin at Newberry Plaza informed me that he was the RA on the floor at U of I. And knew both of you. He asked me to send you his condolence. Larry and Mary Lund

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Robin, our deepest sympathy to you and your daughters. I originally met Dan through Ed Lawrence and in starting the Friends of Downtown Chicago in the 1970's. Dan was passionate about developing Chicago's downtown and making downtown a place to not just work but live. I had hoped to see Dan last year at the opening of the restored Warner Theater in downtown Erie, PA unfortunately a blizzard kept Dan away. The restored theater is just one of the many projects that Dan worked on that made...

Robin my sincere condolences, may his incredible contributions to our City and beyond live on forever. May be rest in peace and my you and your family be surrounded by love, care and compassion. Blessings, Jim Di Ciaula

Dear Robin - I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope there is comfort in the over 40 years you shared together and that very good memories will sustain you. Bruce Martin

Robin, Emily and Sarah: your husband/dad had a huge, huge heart. He will be missed by all those of us on whom he showed kindness and offered opportunity. Dan had an incredible drive to want to make things, and through doing so make things better. I am thankful for being able to know him as a mentor, collaborator and friend.

Dan and I knew each other from the old days.....we worked together in the early 1980's at Sisco Lubotsky Architects. After a few short years, Dan struck out on his own . I always admired him for having the courage...and foresight to take that chance. It was obviously a wise choice, as his venture matured into one of the most successful Chicago architecture firms. He will be missed. My sincere condolences .
