To Dan's family,
So sorry to hear of Dan's passing. As a lifetime educator in the New Haven Public Schools, I had the pleasure of working closely with Dan and found him to be kind, sensitive and a positive force in the schools he serviced.
Always a positive word or gesture to help those lucky enough to know him
Please know that Dan and his family will remain in my daily thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
