Daniel C. Hostetter

Dear Mrs. Hostetter and Family,
How sad to learn of your husband and dad's death while still in the prime of his life. He was so kind to me when I worked for you and all your friends, the Oyster Harbors families. I treasure memories of walking the course during Danforth finals, applauding his many wins, and will always remember the endearing and grand smile he greeted everyone with. Peace be with him and all of you, Betse Gori (former OHC mgr - from WPB, FL)

Priscilla, Adam and family...I am a tenant in one of Dan's buildings and have known him for eight years. He was a wonderful man and, although I did not know him well, I will miss him. I was out of town when he passed or would have been at the funeral. I offer these words of consolation: “He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent people and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction." May he rest in peace.

Priscilla, I was very sad when I heard about Danny. It has been many years since I've seen you and Danny, but I have fond memories of him and all of us together in high school. Danny McEvoy was my sister's boss in Tucson, AZ and she had a chance to talk with your Danny when he came to Danny McEvoy's funeral. It's such a shock when one of us is taken away. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family at this difficult time.

Carol and I offer our sincere sympathies to Danny's family and friends. We remember him as a stalwart competitor and respected rival during our high school years.

Priscilla, my heart goes out to you and your family. I remember our years together in high school, cheering at the games, dances, Wimpy's. Fun times and cherished memories. Priscilla, I know you have lost the love of your life and pray all your treasured memories will help you heal. My husband is battling this horrible disease as well albeit of a different type so I know what you have been enduring throughout Danny's illness. God Bless.

Dear Pricilla and Family
Although we didn't see eachother often after High School, I have fond memories of you and Danny. The group of Danny, Danny McEvoy, Sue and Andy Milk, Saunie and so many the others defined our High School years. I was saddened to read of Danny's passing. My thought and prayers are with you all during this trying time.

Dear Priscilla, Adam, Kristin and Danny...I found out last week that Danny was ill and I had just written a letter to Auntie Phylis asking about him. She must have received the letter on the day he passed away. I am heartbroken to hear this news this morning.

Danny was one of many men at the huge Morin family gatherings but when Danny DID arrive, he also set the party in motion with his beautifully full grin from ear to ear. He smiled with his eyes and his words were always kind and gentle. Everyone love him being around.

This is the Danny I remeber so well... the carefree but careful ways he did things. Always putting his hand on your shoulder to make you feel welcome...He was one special man and he was admired by so many hearts.

May you find comfort in knowing that it is all God's plan and each of us must make this journey...and Danny is already there...watching out for you all every moment of every day. Just talk to him and you will know what his words would be. He remains alive in your hearts forever.

Love to the Hostetter family and the Morin family that loved him at I Do.

Your cousin Janine from California

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Priscilla:

I am so sorry for your loss. My love to you and Adam, Kristen & Danny, and all the family. Dan was a lovely person and a wonderful father and husband.

It is wonderful that you have those two little "clones" to watch grow up in his image.

A special condolence from Gloria, who knows what you are going through.

Our deepest sympathy,

Danny,

Most of us would like to have been born Daniel C. Hostetter and there are so many reasons, a few of which were in the paper the other day....but most of all because you were truly loved, not just by family but by everyone who you came in contact. Beside that ...we all wanted your golf game and your demeanor on the golf course......encouraging everyone to play well and have fun.
To simply say you were the best in so many ways is so true that I feel sorry that I only got to know you in the later years other wise one of my sons would bear the name Daniel.
I know you are watching over your family wishing you could still be close
but realizing that your job is really the same.
I wish for one more game...but I can wait knowing that someday we will play together again......til then....all our love. Larry & Tina

ps...no way we play even

Dan and Liz,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dan will be missed by all who had the pleasure to have met him and worked professionally with him. He had the gift to turn every relationship into a friendship. We have lost a true friend in the community,

Dear Priscilla and family,

We were so saddened today to hear of Dan's passing. Our yearly pilgrimage to Oyster Harbors was always brightened by your presence. You welcomed us into your home like old friends. And Matt truly enjoyed being Dan's partner two years ago. Dan was a special person who we will always remember with great fondness.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. Barri and Matt Morahan

Danny was one of my family's dearest friends and truly a great man. One of the most prolific developers of his generation, part of his legacy will be that he made The Cape a more beautiful place to live. He will be deeply missed. My heartfelt sympathy to Priscilla and her family.

The Hostetter Family,
My thoughts are with you during this time of mourning and celebration of the wonderful Cape Codder who will truly be missed by all who were fortunate enough to work with him. Dan provided encouragement, moral support and a strong foundation during my growth as a real estate professional. Thank you for sharing this wonderful human being with all of us.

So sorry for your loss my brother and I worked at wimpy's when we were in high school Danny was a good man

To the Hostetter Family -

I was saddened to hear that Mr. Hostetter lost his gallant battle with cancer. I hope that fond memories bring you solace at this difficult time. Our family joins you in mourning the loss of a truly great man.

With sympathy,

Katherine and Lonnie Morris

With all my love the the Hostetter Family, Brinley Ford Ehlers

Pricilla and family, Joe and I were very sorry to hear that Danny lost his fight to cancer. We read the obituary and were touched by his life story. Our thoughts are with you and your children. Janet Jerkovich

Dear Priscilla and Family,
My deepest sympathies to Priscilla, your great family and friends of Danny.
As we get older and reflect on life, we begin to realize who some of the biggest influences in our life truly were. Over 30 years ago, at the young age of 19 years, I had the great privilege of being taught how to sell real estate by Danny. Through his incredible creations of beautiful projects such as the Clock Works and Whistle Berry, Danny taught me not only how to sell and present yourself, he taught me the benefits of doing it right, doing it with class and honoring your commitments. I have always been taken back with the level of humbleness that Danny exhibited for a man that had achieved such greatness in business and his family life. I will always carry these lessons with me, and for that I will always be grateful.

My deepest sympathy

Pricilla, you and your beautiful family will be in our thoughts and our prayers. May happy memories of a wonderful man help ease your pain. With all our love, Sandy and Rick Becker

May God Bless the Hostetter Family during this difficult time of loss. Dan was an incredible business man and mentor to me. I will never forget how compassionate and caring he was as a Boss during a difficult time in my past. You have a wonderful family and the memories of your life will forever be cherished by those you have touched. I am forever grateful for knowing you Dan.

PRISCILLA, We too are saddened by your loss of Danny. Nothing will replace him in your heart nor your childrens. May your future br filled with smiles and giggles as you think of all the fun times you all have had together. Love and Prayers to you and your family. Kay and Peter Lyons

Mr. Hostetter, you were the epitome of the "gentleman golfer". Kind to the staff, gracious whether you were victorious or finishing in the middle of the pack (which was rare ). Your syrupy putting stroke was the envy of the Cape. May choirs of angels sing you to your eternal and peaceful rest.

Dear Pricilla and family,
I was saddened to hear of Danny's passing. My memories of him date back to Barnstable High where he was an accomplished athlete, to years later, dealing with him in business and then as a neighbor in Oyster Bay. Danny was always a gentleman and will be missed.

Dear Priscilla and family,

We are so sad to think Danny fought so valiantly yet lost the battle with cancer. Just read his obituary which was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. Bob and I have so many wonderful memories of our friend Danny and times we spent with you and Danny over the years. What a blessing to have known him.

My regret is that we cannot attend the wake or service because we have a memorial service in GR on Friday also for a long time friend.

Priscilla, we look forward to seeing you soon - hope in Fla.
Our love and prayers,
Bob and Judy

What a lovely tribute to a truly great man. His legacy lives in his wonderful family and the memories we all have of good times together. Our heartfelt condolences to the whole family. Our prayers go out to you all.

Priscilla, Kristin, Danny and Ad:
For me growing up at OH, "Mr. Hoss" was pure fun- Rides in his golf cart; epic Wimp's meals ie. Wimpy Special burgers, fries and frappes for 20 including the Jones' boys; paties at Elliot Road and the 3 OH houses.
LOVED him- Martha Casey (Carroll)

your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Seth & Jennifer Hamed

Priscilla;
So sorry to hear of Danny's passing. You share the best part of his "lucky" number 42. May God bless Danny and keep you and the family strong in your faith.

We were saddened to hear of Dan's passing and offer our condolences and prayers to the Hostetter family.

Janet and Mike Daley

My deepest sympathies to you all. Danny was one of a kind. They come no better. Dan will be missed by all.

Our condolences to his family and friends. My husband and I are saddened to hear of Danny's passing. Danny was a classmate but more than that he was a friend. I will always be grateful for his kindness to me during my difficult High school experience. God puts people in our lives when we need them the most. He gave me Danny. My husband and Danny were great friends and my husband speaks about what a great athlete he was all the time. God Bless each of you and know that Danny will never be gone from your hearts because you all have treasured memories of him as a husband, father and friend.

Our deepest sympathies to Priscilla and family. Oyster Harbors has lost a true friend but will always have treasured memories.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Pricilla & family,
We were so sad to hear that the love of your life passed away.You both gave a full fight for sure in these past months, and gave it your all.
We will always remember your words of encouragement to us over the years as we ran into you at various restaurants and golf outings. The smiles on your faces always were an inspiration to us as you truly were a couple in love. Brian at all times, has always mentioned Danny's name in the highest regards and as for me, Danny always went out of his way to welcome me into a conversation. We will miss his presence and know that he is at peace with God.
Our love to you and your family Priscilla,
Cindy & Brian Dacey

Priscilla, Dan Jr, Adam, Kristin and all the Hostetter family,
Karen and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

To the Hostetter Family -

Your father always brought a smile to my face. It was an honor to know him and have him as a cheerish family friend.

My deepest sympathy to all!
Molly Green

Heaven has gained a true gentleman. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
