Daniel Jay Gopen

I know its been quite some time, it just always comes back to me. I never let go of the thought of you and not only before certain decisions do I think of what you would say in the end, but I think of ways you would go about those activities, situations or life obstacles. I know you're always around and I never feel like you're ever far away. I will always love and miss you but I incorporate what you tought me and how your way of thinking for the path I've been carving. Love you Dad, I never...

I can't believe it's been 4 years ago already that you left us Dan. I still can't believe it that you left us so soon. I miss you my friend.

Hi Lisa (and kids),
While we are several decades distanced in time from the Brookline days, I was humbled and saddened to learn about Dan's death back in August. I have many great memories of Dan being a great neighbor and hanging around the garage at Dean Road (which usually led to other various escapades and generally nefarious fun elsewhere), and nobody could make us laugh as hard as he could.

Dan was an integral part of that social whirl with my brother Jeff, and like the...

Lisa, DJ, Damien, Alyssa and Nick, I've been friends with your family for over 25 years. Lisa, you and Dan have always been there for me with your encouraging words and advice. Even giving me a car when mine was broken. That was so awesome, playing Bonnie and Clyde and stealing a car. Not really stealing because it was mine, then gave it to me after all.... He signed the title over to me and it became mine at that point. Was a lot of fun going to the location of the vehicle and just putting...

Lisa, So sorry, he will be missed. We've been so blessed to have you in our lives for so long.

All Dan's classmates at the Runkle School in Brookline Massachusetts were so sad to hear of Dan's passing. Dan was a kind and gentle soul. He always had a kind word for everyone and was so much fun to grow up with. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Lisa,I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband, Daniel. Enjoyed when you would come into The Cafe at Rail City. I remember how long you told me you had been married and I remember thinking to myself, now they are true soul mates! Also,I will never thing the same about onion rings again. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Valerie (server @ rail city)

Dear Lisa,
I was shocked to hear the news of Daniel's death. My sympathy goes out to you and the family. I was one of Barbara and Franks closest friends, and went to all the special events as you, Daniel and Linda Beth were growing up. May God give you the strength and courage to carry on during these trying days ahead.
Fondly,
Barbara Lander

Dear Lisa, I'm still in shock, saddened at your loss & the family's.

I met Dan in CA when he was 2 wks. old !

Please take care of Lisa.

Love,

Barcy
