Daniel Wolfsohn Obituary
March 2, 1955 - December 30, 2023
Daniel Wolfsohn lived a full and active life for 68 years. He passed away on December 30, 2023, following a short and valiant battle with cancer. He is survived by his children, Emily and Sam Wolfsohn.
Daniel was born in Chicago, Ill. In 1977, he took a road trip to San Francisco and decided to stay-residing in the Bay Area for the remainder of his life. Upon moving to San Francisco, Daniel began working in the paper business, where he spent the majority of his career.
Daniel was a baseball enthusiast. Though he remained a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, he also grew to love the San Francisco Giants and was a proud season ticket holder. In addition to baseball, he was passionate about many things. He found joy in spending time with his family and friends, gardening and tending to his orchids, listening to and playing music, cooking and barbequing, playing golf, traveling, and reading the San Francisco Chronicle daily.
In the last year of his life, Daniel lent his green thumb and much of his time to the upstart and maintenance of the Hillsdale High School Community Garden, which provides produce for ~130 families every week. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the HHS Community Garden in his honor (hhscommunitygarden.com).
Daniel was a vibrant and memorable person. He was a kind neighbor and generous member of his community. Above all, he was the world's most devoted father and loyal friend. He will be deeply missed by the many who loved him.
A celebration of life will be held on his birthday, March 2.

Nooo! This is terrible news! I met Danny for lunch in San Carlos a year and a half ago and at the time he was fine. It was great to see him after being out of touch since high school. He was happy and brimming with life and we spent time comparing and contrasting our career paths. If nothing else, he was incredibly resourceful. We were in touch off and on since then via email, mostly messages from him about bands I needed to see, but I had no idea he was ailing. Very sad, He was a mensch. -- Elliott Negin, March 2, 2024
