Not sure what to say?

Dan was a great friend of mine and a highly valued musical partner for many years. I deeply miss him.

I remember as a young teenager when a trip to Justin's house often involved asking his dad Dan about his latest work project or creative endeavor. Seeing his art or sharing conversations with Dan regularly made me find beauty...
