I know this is rather long delayed, however I was an old friend of your father, we´d lost contact with each other and when I moved to central Florida last year I was hoping to locate him. We go way back to Nashville & Bluefield. Possibly he might have mentioned our connection to you. I have a photo of us standing in front an old biplane.

Mr. Daniels, it was an honor and pleasure to have known you. I remember the first time I met you at Warren and De's house. They say first impressions are the most important. Well.... they are right. First thing you said that day was a joke. Had me laughing and then of course you had to give me a math equation. From that moment, I knew you where a great guy. I am blessed to have known you.
May your family find comfort in the memories we all share of you.
RIP Mr. Daniels. You will be missed.
