In 2002 in San Diego, I purchased Daniel Patrick Loftus's artwork titled Blu Grande. It has brought me much enjoyment. It sounds like Daniel received a beautiful send off from his beloved family. May he RIP.

Although we did not know Dan well, we knew him through Jennifer, who instilled the love of piano in our kids. We could tell that Dan was a beautiful person and a loving and supportive husband. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Loftus family.

Jennifer,

There is little comfort in any words right now. Just know when you are ready my arms, heart, classes and home are open to you. In the meantime I shall pray for you and Dan's son and daughter. I so regret I can't be with you today. Hugs,

Sorry to hear about Dan's passing. I had the great pleasure of working/playing with Dan in a Gallery Players production of Seven Brides for Seven Brother's at Dominican University in River Forest, IL. Dan was a great "Adam", belting out and swaggering to "Bless your beautiful hide!" and "Sobbin Women" among others.

My condolences on Dan's loss. I first met him while at Taft High School when he was a spectacular Charlie Darymple in Brigadoon, and I was in the chorus. We were in several subsequent casts together in the Norwood Park Players. His brother Jim was in my division, our parents became friends, and I have always followed his dramatic career with interest. The Chicago metro theater scene was a brighter place knowing that Dan was out there as part of it.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Loftus Family and loved ones of Daniel at this difficult time.

I had the pleasure and good fortune of working with Dan early in my career at the United Airlines project. He was truly a credit to the craft of ironworking. My deepest sympathies go out to Dan's family for their loss.

It was a pleasure to know Dan as a colleague and friend for all the years we worked together. He will be deeply missed. Our family will keep him, and your entire family, in our prayers.
