One of my dearest friend and neighbor. I've never heard a negative thing about Daniel's family in our four decades of acquaintance. My love and heart go to his memorable family. One of the finest examples of neighborliness I've ever seen. God be with friends and family and count the blessing of such a life. I cherished every moment spent with Daniel and will miss him beyond any available words.
