A few years after Dan and Rosalie moved to Sonoma County I became a live in nanny for their family. They were the best employers/family. I always enjoyed the time I would bump into Dan over the years. His passion for social justice was inspirational. Much love to his family for their loss.

Dan, you've done so much for Santa Rosa more than anyone I know. You've been a big part of this community. Every time I see you at St. Rose Church, you make me smile. You are a true ambassador of friendliness, open heartedness, and how it is to be generous. We'll miss you.

Dan, even though we haven't seen each other much since the '60's at the University of Detroit, I will never forget you and the good times we had together there and in High School. You were always looking out for the less fortunate whether it was it was because of their status in life or due to racial inequality. I know God will take are of you for all that you have done for others. Rest in Peace MY FRIEND FOREVER.
