The stories I have with Dan front and center are endless. We sure lost one of the worlds great guys. My heart is broken and I can only hope that all these wonderful memories will be the comfort we all need to endure the world without Danny.

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." - Albert Einstein.
I first met Dan on the campaign trail, 20 years ago, running for Moreland Hills Council. At first, he was a rival of sorts- with 4 candidates running for 3 slots. But, he was the nicest rival I ever met. We both made it, and Dan quickly went from rival, to friend; and from Council colleague (for 12 years), to my Mayor.
In all the time I have known him, Dan lived the motto above. He truly lived his life for others. He always cared for his community, his family, his colleagues and his friends first, and himself last. I think he had a unique "give and take" relationship with the world. It is unique because the only thing he "took" was the pride and enjoyment from giving to everyone he lived with, worked with and met.
What he gave was his time, his energy, his compassion, his civility, his keen intellect, his wit, his charm, an unparalleled work ethic and a commitment to making a difference. He gave so much of himself to the Village of Moreland Hills, and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Dan on so many worthwhile Village projects/initiatives.
And in his "spare time," he "just" risked his life as a firefighter for the Orange and Bedford communities he served.
I think if Dan could speak from above, he would say, take the time you need to grieve, but then, just give; to your families, to your communities and to the world at large.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Fritz family, and everyone who knew him.
