you have my sincere condolences. Dan was a great person and a worthy opponent in the arena. We had many great games against each other and still remained friendly and cordial. Breeze was one of the classiest coaches I ever had the pleasure of coaching against. He always had a friendly smile and warm greeting for everyone. He will be sorely missed.
