Extraordinary "Role Model" and Mentor. Dan was the single best dressed & versed Teacher I ever had. My sincerest condolences to the Luna family & I will look forward to continuing to encounter "Big Dan" often as I stroll down Memory Lane. Most Sincerely, Jim Simmons ~ Green Valley, Arizona

I valued our friendship and Jessie was my best friend. All your family took care if ours at Central Grade

I have loved the Luna Family for many many years. I have never had a better friend than Jessie. Dan was such leader of people and so kind and compassionate. The psychological and mental game of tennis served him well. All of his children are creative as well as tennis players. You saved John, Mike, Kelly and Anne at Central grade. So sorry we have lost touch over the years but know you have been in our thoughts over the years. Rest In Peace my old friend Dan. Kathy Farley

A great man who raised great children.

The Brown family of Denver sends our sincere condolences to the Luna family and hope that Dan and our late son and brother, Matt, are playing some tennis games in heaven!

As one of Dan's neighbors at Montview Manor, I'd like to extend my deepest sympathy to the Luna family. Although I didn't know Dan very well, I was always cheered when I met him on one of his daily walks in the neighborhood. One year I was lucky enough to sit next to him at a Thanksgiving dinner here at the manor and learn more about his extraordinary life. May he rest in peace. He will be missed here.
