Dear Stefanie and the entire Offit Family,

I write on behalf of myself and Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Despite so many years passing since he lived here in San Francisco, we remember Danny fondly. He was smart, committed generous, active, fair, and always respectful. His work left an impact that extends through to today. Despite passing far too young, it is clear that Danny's was a life well lived.
