Dan, you were the first teacher that made me like to learn. You had an amazing eye for photography. I wish I had made more of an effort after school to keep in touch. You'll never be forgotten by me.

Dan was the most enlightened spirit I've ever met and because of his shared knowledge I've been a photographer for 33 years. I'm so thankful that I had the chance to visit him last December and talk for several hour. Dan's spirit will be with me forever...Robert Ferrone

When thinking about how much Dan will be missed at our book club, I realized our good fortune to have known him at all. The many whose paths intersected with Dan's are the better for it.

Dear Uncle Dan,
You will never know how much I loved and admired you for the choices you made in your life. You were always honest and true to your beliefs and your love of nature and the environment made a lasting impression on all who knew you. I think of you every day and will always hold your spirit in my heart.
Your loving niece,
