I am trying to wrap my head around this sad news. For days I have thought about the times I was with him at your home, at the diner, when he made the trip here to NY...camping no less. Simply he was a sweet boy who was dearly loved and cared for. Barb, you championed his strengths, giving him the chance to be all that he could be. Blessings to a beautiful family. You have taught me much about love and faith. Harry is training him...talking...laughing....ahhh, I wish I could see it. He is an angel, a blessed angel. They are waiting for you all, in time.
My love...peace and wonderful memories,
Helen

My condolences to the entire family. Andrea, your tribute on The Five was excellent. I can't think of better words than the ones you used to express the relationship between a disabled and non-disabled sibling. I am certain Daniel touched the lives of those who knew him in more ways than you can ever imagine.

Michael Sipos

As I grow older I ask more often this question. What is the meaning of life? And as I have been taught, and do believe, the answer is to render service and compassion to those in need. While I was not fortunate enough to know Danny I do know some of his family and also had the privelage at his service today to listen to and meet some of his caregivers. And not satisified with my original answer I thought more deeply still about my question. I knew an answer was in there somehwere. And then a fresh insight arrived. GOD Himself uses angels such as Danny to permit some of us to extract from deep within an unlimited amount of love that left alone without impetus might not surface, might never rise to the occasion. Such magnificent caregivers then in their own way become a becon of hope where there is despair, an example of all the best mankind has to offer to each other. But it is through the teacher, in this case Danny, that the student, the caregiver hones his or her GOD given ability. Without Danny there is no lesson and much less hope for a perilous world. So thank you GOD for the gift of Danny and calling his family and friends to task and allowing them to shine and set forth such a wonderful example of all that mankind can become.
August 26, 2013
My husband and I were so sad to learn of your dear brothers passing while watching The Five this evening. You have mentioned Daniel so many times and spoke of him so adoringly. This is such a sad time for your family but please know our thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Tantaros family and Greg,
My heart sank when I saw precious Danny's picture. I feel blessed by having known Danny and witnessing his relationship with Greg, every day I worked at EPB Operations center and had the pleasure of a "high five" from Danny as they came and left their day of work. Some days Greg had to encourage him a little more than others, but it was always such a blessing. It has been several years since the change to Harleysville and many of us losing our jobs there, but I will forever remember Danny's smile, and the love that he shared with Greg. Thinking of Danny no longer having the restrictions that his body gave him here on earth, and him smiling and "high fiving" in heaven brings joy to my heart. Nothing will replace the emptiness and loss you all feel now, but pray the hope of seeing him again one day is of some comfort. God Bless each of you.
Dawn Berner

Dear Andrea and family,
I am one of the individuals who knows you because of the Fox Network. There are many of us out there who you don't know but that doesn't mean any less that I wish you and your family my deepest sympathy in the loss of your brother.
I knew you had a brother who lived in Coplay when I read about your father's passing a few years ago. I live right across the Lehigh River in Northampton.
The obituary in The Morning Call was really inspirational and certainly put in perspective how precious life is. It was a beautiful tribute to your brother.
Again my deepest sympathy to you and your family. It will be great to see you back on The Five. You certainly have given the Lehigh Valley someone they can be very proud of.

I do not know you or Daniel, but that is my misfortune, but I would like to say, "If only our world were filled with 'uniquely special' people, like Daniel...what a wonderful world it would be". What a beautiful tribute you have given him. It appears, he has made a huge mark, in the many lives he has touched, in his short time here. May God bless you, for bringing him into this world. I only hope that those who think they have "a choice", will think again. Your work on earth is finished, Daniel. You can now enjoy eternal life,in the perfect body, with your creator. Rest in Peace, and thank you for making a difference.
