I will always remember Daniel, he was my friend until I moved from Florida in 2004 to rejoin my mother and family members in Virginia. I did some administrative work for him and to me he was a kind man who enjoyed hearing about my Jack Russells and found humor in me being intimidated by his parrot who he named after "Ole Blue Eyes". Bless you Daniel, I pray you are at peace.

Daniel was my friend when I lived in Lake Worth, FL, I helped him as a personal assistant with correspondence. He was a treasure of a man and we often spoke of our different world but how easily they came together. We shared funny times with Frankie the parrot and me with my Jack Russell terriers, I moved back to Virginia but have never forgotten him, REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND, GO WITH GOD.
