Kindness is the first word that comes to.mind when I think.of Daniel. I was new in the business when I came to the office Daniel was in. He was very busy and successful but he always had time to calmly and patiently explain whatever I needed help with! He was super smart, funny, calm, kind, emphatic. He continues to be an inspiration for me for how we should all be a lot kinder, friendlier, helpful. May your soul enjoy the new adventures. Thank you for all you gave of yourself

We have a large group of friends of 40 plus years. Dan was one of them. He was always the clown making everyone laugh. I sadly had not seen Dan in years but kept up on each other through our mutual friends. I will always be thinking about you Mr. Thorpe and sending you love and hugs. You will be missed forever. Rest in peace my old friend.
