Daniel Joseph Piro

I played with Dan in the MSBL (1991) Great guy and fellow New Yorker Rest in Peace, my friend

I worked with Dan for over ten years on the Mens' Senior Baseball League. We spent many many hours on the phone, engaged in deep conversations - as only Dan could do. I saw this remembrance and am astounded that nearly 10 years have gone by since he passed. I respected, loved and appreciated him and his brilliance.

I worked for Dan when I first graduated from college. He was working in New York at International Moneyline, and he was starting a newsletter on the banking industry. I remember him being a very supportive and friendly boss. Julian Snyder, Bill Creighton, and a Brit name Jim Weeks (I think) were also there. Dan was a great guy.

Jimmy and I were talking a couple of days ago about Dan, and we were both wishing that he could share some of his insight with Jimmy. Dan had such a broad wealth of knowledge, and he had a passion for life...such enthusiasm! Only you could keep up with his energy, Jackie, being a marathoner/tennis star :-) He had such zest for life and threw his whole self in all he chose to do! The love, pride, and unrestrained joy he had for your beautiful boy! We all miss him so much, too. And we love...

Dan was truely a special person. I remember first meeting him when my Alex, Nikolas, and Danny played on the same Little League team. I remember saying how I loved his great mop of hair! :) He was a wonderful man/father/friend/coach! I love you Dan and miss you terribly. Rest in Peace my friend...God Bless!

I remember Dan as a loving and doting uncle, always so excited to see his niece and nephew! My first experience with sushi was with my Uncle Dan, where I decided that I definitely didn't like fresh ginger or wasabi (but my tastes have changed over the years). I also remember him being an incredible father, always encouraging his son to reach for his dreams. You are missed, Uncle Dan!

One of the greatest Yankee fans I have ever met. Can't believe he has passed on. What an inspirational guy ! Worked for him at CHASE. We saw the 1976 Yankee pennant clincher when Chambliss hit his homer in the bottom of the 9th inning. We walked onto the field at the stadium when the game had ended. Talk about incredible memories.....

I just heard the news today. What a loss for us all. I first met Dan several years ago at the MSBL World Series, and have admired him ever since. As a contributor and advertiser in Hardball Magazine I can't tell you how much Dan has helped me as a businessman and as a person. I will never forget his friendship and courage. He taught us all how to deal with adversity. Until we meet again my friend.

My condolences go out to the entire Piro family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dan was truly an inspiring person and always had an optimistic attitude even while facing a serious illness. He armed himself with knowledge and was able to battle his illness for a long time. It is a testament to his determination and character.

Even though I only spoke to Dan on the phone a few times and never met him in person, our conversations lasted for hours and I felt like I...
