We are heartbroken to hear about Dan passing. He was such an amazing, enthusiatic person! Dan sold us our beautiful home 15 years ago this summer and we still quote him -- he would tell us about doing the "dance" when we were negociating price. We love that! He made the process so much fun -- he was so fantastic! Since then anytime we'd run into him he always remembered us eventhough we know that we were one of hundreds of clients that he had over the years. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Ann,
We just heard that Dan passed away. This was a real shocker!
I did not know he was sick and I remember seing the the two of you at the car show and at the Coriander restaurant.
He always was happy and cordial and I am sure this was a terrible loss.
Please accept ous deepest condolances and I am sorry I did not know sooner of your loss.
A big hag

Annie, we are so sorry for your loss. Dan was an incredible guy. Every year as the Grand Prix approached, we knew Dan would be proudly displaying his vintage car. He made everyone feel like a dear friend. Dan was disarming, full of life. We wouldn't have our first home if it weren't for Dan giving us the confidence and support we needed. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Flo and Bill Fong

Dear Annie, We were shocked to hear about Dan passing. We were stunned. He found the house we live in. A house Paula turned into a home. He changed our lives and we will always be grateful we knew him. We couldn't thank him enough. His patience, warmth and kindness meant so much. He was truly one of a kind. He had a genuine spirit and excitement for life. We will miss him and keep him in our prayers. He was a wonderful man and we are so sorry for your loss. May God strengthen and keep you in this saddest of times. Our sincere and deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Annie we received a letter telling us about Dan's passing. I called his replacement to make sure it wasn't a mistake before I told Sam. Our heads are spinning can't believe the shinnest best person we know is gone. We pray for you. I have the bow-tie & your lotion you guys forgot at Christmas, kept it in dresser for when we got together again. Dan was like a little brother to Sam, after meeting him at CCAC .Your phone is off now & I understand, there was never anyone like Dan We love him & You. So sorry Sam&Dee We will get together when you are ready. Sam is sitting in shock,such sad new. Praying for you, this is so hard , you both lit up a room & everyone that met you felt better about life.

Dan was the most charismatic, spiritual, uplifting person I have ever met. He was an angel to me, helping me buy my first home in the midst of a very difficult time in my life. He was an exceptional human being and a true class act.

May 1, 2015
Annie, I am in shock and disbelief, I feel so bad for you and your family as well as everybody that knew Dan. He truly was a class act and a true gentleman. You were very fortunate to have been his loving wife and best friend. You don't often get to see two people so much in love as you too. Every Time I was you you both, I could see it in your eyes the way you look at each other and the way you talked to each other. I am so happy that I knew Dan and got to spend some time with you and him. I miss him deeply already and can't stop thinking about him and how you must feel. I know Dan will always be with you , in your thoughts and heart and by your side watching over you. I
I hope we can still get together in his memory and share stories about Dan.

To Annie and Family. Dan was a true gentleman and a one of a kind guy. I have had the pleasure of working with him for the past 17 years and always knew anyone I would refer to him would be handled with nothing but professionalism. I'll never forget the bow tie and his man bag. Thanks for all your help through the years Dan and until we meet again. You all have my sympathy.

Annie,
(That is what Dan always called you). We will never forget how Dan would lite up a room simply by walking in it. He always wore his smile, a bow tie, and sometimes even rubber boots. He loved you dearly and always let us know this. He will be missed! Our memories of Dan will always include a smile and a thought of you.

It's unlikely I would be in the home I'm in if not for the miracles Dan worked to make it happen. A true professional. You will be missed by many.

Dan was a wonderful person. He would sing to us when he called. We knew his voice at his first word. Every transaction we worked on together had all of the i's dotted and t's crossed. He made our jobs so much easier. He always asked how we were. He genuinely cared about all of us. We will miss him dearly. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
