Not sure what to say?

Can't think of Dan without hearing his laugh, what a great way to be remembered. My condolences to his whole family.

So sorry to hear about this. I know Dan and Myrna were wonderful long-time friends of my father Arthur James and wife Sandra James. We will mourn his passing and send comfort to Myrna and extended family.

While I didn't know Dan very well in our Palm Desert community, I will never forget the smile on his face when he played the drums in some of our DCTC Cabaret performances. He certainly was known for that twinkle in his eye and his never-ending smile. Rochelle Blair

Dan was a charming man, a wonderful husband, and a superb tennis player. Myrna, all your fans at the MAC will remember Dan with greatest affection. Tender thoughts to you, but happy memories of great tennis times. Ellin Johnson (once E. Sweet)

My wife I have never met a nicer and happier person to be around. enjoyed playing tennis with he and his wife at reed college on many occasions.

It is with great fondness that I remember Dan. He was always such a warm and welcoming person. He had a great smile, and used it often. He always made people feel special. I have many memories of him, most include a lot of humor. He will be missed.
