Daniel Kristal

To The Kristal Family:
I just heard last nite that Dan passed away. I was shocked and saddend.
I am the assistant coach for Mission High Schools Girl tennis, and I just saw Dan in September.
I knew Dan from high school and college. He was my ex-husbands doubles partner.
When I saw Dan in September, it had been at least 20 years since I had seen him last. We laughed and reminiscenced about the past. He couldn't believe how we now had kids at the age we knew each...

I am a beginning tennis player, that took three consecutive tennis classes, at Chabot College, last year, from Dan Kristal. Dan was a great tennis coach.

I heard the news only an hour ago and am still in shock, terribly saddened by your loss & desirous to express my...

Marilyn and Family,
So sorry for your loss. We are praying for you. God Bless You!

Marilyn and Family - Even though I did not know your husband I did get to know him through the wonderful conversations we had in the past about your family. I pray that you will remember all the wonderful times you shared through the eyes of your children and they will receive the same from you.
Love, Greg and Grace Hughey

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
