It is with great sorrow that I had to learn today that Dan is no longer with us.
I was inhouse counsel at Thyssen Handelsunion AG, Düsseldorf, Germany and in that capacity had numerous cases with him.
He was a fine attorney and a trusted friend.
Please, accept my sincere condolences.
May he rest in peace!
