I was blessed to watch Daniel grow up in St. Louis. Recently as an adult he helped me tremendously with an issue with one of my grandchildren. His generous time, sincere interest, deep kindness and personal wisdom were invaluable to me and my family. I was and continue to be very grateful to Daniel. My prayers and love go out to his whole family, now and forever.
