Dan was a wonderful, talented, loyal and giving person. He was my mentor when I joined Y&R in 1970 working as an account coordinator on the Goodyear business. His kindness and understanding knew no bounds. His method of "teaching me the ropes" was to let me just get into what ever need doing and do it. I will always have fond memories of Dan. If Obrien's (a little restaurant/bar just around the corner from Y&R and a favorite of Dan's) was still open, I would drop in on my next trip to NYC and raise a glass of scotch ( with just two ice cubes) in a toast to a truly Good Man.

I worked with Dan for almost 10 years at Tha Pennysaver. Still have the card he made for me when I left. Was always a wonderful person. RIP Dan.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
