I took his Sci-Fi class at DHS, one of my favorite classes and experiences at DHS. His enthusiasm on the subject was amazing. I can still see him jumping up and down during the discussion of the Foundation series...."you got duped!!" RIP

Hello Marcia and Family;
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I always enjoyed Dan. From his St. Thomas days through DHS gatherings, we had a lot of fun. He was always kind, considerate and a gentleman. The world needs more of the likes of Dan.

He went from being Mr. McCooey to just being 'Dan.'
From the gym to the the snowy trails in the Whites, he was one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure to spend time with. Determined. Fun. Loud, infectious laugh. Things you just take for granted...

Hello-I was saddened and surprised to learn of Dan's passing. Particularly as we started our teaching careers at Dover High, we spent a lot of time together. Dan was a good friend and confidant, we shared many good memories. In a horrible snowstorm, I recall attending his wedding! Dan, be at peace.
