We will always enjoy our memories of you, Coach, and hope to carry on your legacy through our lives for generations to come!

Dan had an impact on so many young men that he coached. I had the honor of coaching with him and learning from him. My life as a coach and teacher was enriched by working with him. I pray your memories of him will sustain you until you meet again.

bless you molly

My condolences to "Miss Mosely" and the Spier family. I was fortunate to connect briefly with Coach Spier via email recently. He will be missed.

What a remarkable teacher he was!! 2 of my children had him at Newton High & he was Star teacher for my son, Michael Moncrief. He was the teacher who made Michael who he is!! Barbara Land Moncrief

We will miss the annual Christmas cards and send all our love to Mrs Spier, a great influence to us both. Love, Julie and Drew Wade

Dan was a great coach, a great teacher and an outstanding man. When I played for him at NCCHS from 1980-1983 there was a time when I thought I was better than I actually was.

They gave hugs to their teachers as they went to accept their rewards. As I walked up, Coach Spier took that moment to create comedy. He gave me a hug which I was not expecting. It got a big laugh from...

The Professor, out mentor and teacher, has crossed the river and sits under the shade of a distant tree painting, barefoot, with his feet in a summer stream. Beside him is his Milton, while he tries to capture the light on canvas and not be distracted by his favorite Chuck Berry tune. Smiling, Dan is on a new journey of exploration. He has already discovered a new metaphor and its implied sentiment. Delighted, Dan is ready to share this new treasure with his loved ones and...
