I am just learning of this sad news today. I was a student at St Pius and Dan was our youth group advisor but also taught our second half of 8th grade in 1985. He was the best! You could tell he cared about us so much. And he made learning so fun. And I remember Karen as well. It was sweet when you two got together. And I´m so happy you had all those wonderful years together. I never forgot Dan. Reading about him brought back wonderful memories and also allowed me a glimpse at his life after St Pius. He was truly an angel on earth. No doubt he´s watching over all of us now. Rest in Peace Dan.

I got to know Dan at SI and while working together at CYO camp, the summers of 1977 and 1978. What an amazing person he was. I am so sorry for your loss.

Karen, I´m sooo saddened to hear of the loss of your soul mate and husband and Dad to Luke and Cal. For all the years I´ve known Dan, which was a long time, he would drive Cal to Alamo Elementary school and stayed with him during P.E. Now I believed it was kindergarten through fifth grade. Dan never missed a day! What a wonderful bonding time they had together. That´s what I call a devoted Dad and caring for Cal. Dan´s friendship, smiles and soft voice has been a treasure to me. How amazing a man he was to me and he touched my life. Dan, I will miss you! May he Rest In Peace and with no more Pains.

Dan was my first friend I made in the U.S. I was a young international student. He always offered me help and showed love. I learned a lot from him spending time with him and he truly has inspired me to be a better person. I am very blessed to have him in my life. Rest in peace Dan

Dan was a light in my life for the years I was in youth group at St. Pius. His legacy of giving kids and young adults a safe place to embrace all of life changed my life, a life that was filled with pain from a very young age. Love this man and that he lived as a light wherever he was.

Wonderful words about Dan. I had the immense pleasure of working alongside Dan in1978, at what was then known as (I think) Our Lady of the Redwoods summer camp, up near Occidental. As a young Scot, from Glasgow, on my first trip to the U.S., I was a touch bewildered but, as a fellow counsellor in Freestone, Dan immediately took to me and looked after me throughout the summer. He was (and remains) one of the warmest, funniest, kindest, most talented people I've had the great pleasure of knowing throughout my life. Me he rest in peace and my condolences go out to his family & friends.

Dan was always so good-natured, full of enthusiasm, willing to help, and a devoted role model and mentor to countless children besides his own. For those of us who knew him, he truly made the world a better place.

A wonderful tribute to Dan who was one of the most generous individuals we have all had the honor to know and admire. When I think back about our years growing up in the Sunset and going to Holy Name school, Dan stands out as one of the kindest, most creative, and fun kids in our class. Thank you Dan for your countless contributions and efforts toward making our world kinder, more accepting, and loving. Rest in lasting Peace Dan....

I knew Dan when our kids played baseball together and later when transformed our house by adding a deck and revamping our sad bathroom. He was kind, generous and so deeply loved his family and his community. Karen and Cal and Luke, I'm so sorry for your loss. He made our lives better and we will always remember him.

So sad to hear the news of Dan´s passing but bolstered by the memory of his incredible life and dedication to his family and friends! For me, as a shy guy in a class of wonderful, strong people, Dan was always looking out for us kids who may not have been popular and made us feel welcome, valuable and accepted. Dan´s humor is legendary. Making all of us laugh is also part of his legacy. He will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

What a perfect tribute to an incredible man. Dan was the kindest, most sincere, talented, engaging, and generous person. Always had a smile and a kind word for people, his optimistic view of life was so very special. He lives on in all the folks whose hearts he touched, and his beautiful family is a living legacy. Rest in peace, Dan, you'll be missed.
