I still miss Dan everyday and never forget the time and memories we experienced. He was the truest friend a man could have. I miss him even more when election time comes, besides being my best friend he was my political advisor. R.I.P. "Dano" make me a place next to wherever you are. See you soon enough,

I miss him every day. He was the best friend a man could have. Sincerely Buck Cheshire

Dano', I miss you every day. I reach for the phone to call you, especially now with elections coming. Save me a place next to you. Buck'o

Dano, I miss you everyday . Knowing you're in a better place is consoling. Keep a cold one for me. Buck

Mr.Fleming was my only friend when I was in 6th and 7th grade. We had lunch together every day and talk about science. He is the reason for my passion for science. I don't know what I would be doing in life if it wasn't for the impact he had on me. He was like a father to me and I loved him dearly. He will be so deeply missed.

What I admired most about Dan was he didn't get caught up in any of the social BS. He would never let rumors or here...

I met Dan when he was teaching in Oakland. He was an amazing middle school teacher in a portable classroom of a school serving many low income families. Dan had to put up with tough working conditions, but he did it with a hearty laugh, a real love for the kids and science and math, and plenty of time for friends like me who needed a favor here and there. Like when I was running for school board in 2002 (was it that long ago?) I needed to do a robo call to three thousand households, so...
