To Fr Kendalls Jesuit family, his sister, friends and students, I send my condolences. I had the great pleasure of working with Dan at USF and have seen him through the years always to meet his smile and good conversation. He was an intellectual without arrogance, a kind hearted soul, and good humored. I am grateful to have known him.

I was shocked to hear Dan passed . He was a positive influence in my life , A good friend. I enjoyed the great conversations we had at Sunday brunch and swimming at KC. He was one of the most active energetic people I knew , traveling regularly, just finished another book, exercised several times a week, teaching as well . We miss you Dan !
