Not sure what to say?

I worked with Dan at JFD from 88 - 91 and held him in the highest regard. I remember Dan as a very dedicated person who put in far too many hours at the office. I was shocked to see the announcement in the CELSOC newsletter and both my wife Irene and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

Dan hired me shortly after I arrived in California. That was during the time that "Secretary" was still politically correct terminology, and Administrative Professionals had not yet been invented. He was the youngest of the partners at J. F. Davidson, had never had a full-time assistant before, and had apparently suffered recently from some turnover with his part-time assistants. His only request was that I try to commit to the job for at least a year. Fifteen years later, through good and...

My prayers and sadness go out to you for the loss of "Dan" it was such a shock to learn of his passing. Deb, you were a friend of my daughter, Kathy Martin-Belden and she worked with Dan at JFD years ago. When she passed away Nov 7, 1995 Dan called me and he was so uplifting at my time of grief, I appreciated that call so much. I will keep you and your sons in my prayers knowing God has taken a very special man home.

Deb,

We just want to let you know how

sorry we were to hear about your

loss. While we never met Daniel,

his bio shows that he must have

been a wonderful man.

Please know that the Lord will

carry you through this valley.

We are praying for your strength;

body, soul, and spirit.

Don't hesitate to call if We can

do anything.

I met Dan 22 years ago on the Riverside Community College Baseball Field Complex. I guess we can say that we grew up together in the Planning and Construction Field.

He is part of the RCC family from the Baseball Field Complex, all phases of the soon designated Norco College and Moreno Valley College, including Measure “C” initiative.

The word “Kohai” is probably the most appropriate honorific that we could bestow on him “My esteem younger brother in our journey...

Dear Kipper Family,
I worked with Dan on a few projects at RCC and was shocked to hear of the his passing. My relationship with Dan was short but, I will always remember his kind smile and great personality. Dan was quick with a joke yet always proffesional. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,

Deb and Boys,
Even though I didn't get to meet Dan I sure wish I would have. I just wanted to extend our thoughts to you during this time of the loss of Dan. Our hearts and prayers go out to you all. Deb, we are really sorry and are, as always at your command should there be anything we can do to help you guys.

I met Dan when I was 18 years old and working at Hawkins, Robertson & Associates. I worked with him again at JFD. I kept in touch with him over 20 years of working with him and I always looked forward to talking with him. Everyone liked him. There are not very many people like Dan, he stood out. He was always happy, always had a joke to tell, always had a smile on his face. He was a professional and so many people counted on him. It didn't seem like work when you were working with him. His...

Dear Deb, Josh and Matt,
We were so saddened to learn of Dan's passing. What a shock it was to us. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. We were always impressed by Dan's kindness, friendliness and supportive nature to his family. We consider ourselves fortunate to have known him, through Little League and Pony League Baseball and friendships our boys have shared through the years. We hope that time will ease your loss and that only...
