Daniel Edward O'Leary

My condolences family and friends. He was a wonderful person.

Time goes on, doesn't it? Names from the continuing history of the Bar continue on, but mostly only for a short time. A few whose lives will continue to shape and influence others is the best of what those younger than Dan are left with. Dan was for sure one of the few.

Dan O´Leary: Wonderful human being, husband, and father. Always THE gentleman. Keen legal mind. The lawyer´s lawyer. He left the world a better place.
