This is very late, but I just found out that Dan passed away. He has been on my mind lately so I asked a mutual friend about him, and they told me. I´m so sad that I wasn´t able to attend his funeral as I respected Dan and considered him a friend. We had many great conversations, and he shared a lot about his life with me over the 10 years that I cleaned his home weekly. The last time I saw him was 2021, but I wish I would have seen him before he passed away. He was a good man!!

I just heard Dan has passed away. Dan was a great person and a huge participant of the Crime Stoppers Greater Kansas City Program where he served as a Board Member for many years. Always active in all the events and meetings. He will be greatly missed.

I found out yesterday that Dr Dan had passed away via a call from his caregiver. Dan and I have been lifelong friends since 1st grade at Rockwell elementary school. I am saddened and express my deep condolences to his daughters and their families and his brother Peter who I also knew from Nedrow, NY where we grew up. He certainly will be missed.

Very sorry for your loss. I worked with Dan in banking, I could always rely on his sound judgement in dealing with people. Although we lost contact over the years, I´ll always consider him as a friend.
