Daniel Cane Obituary
Daniel Cane, 83, passed away Nov. 20, 2014, surrounded by loved ones. Born in Newark, New Jersey, raised in the Bronx, he moved to California in 1966. A successful copywriter, Dan wrote direct mail copy for a variety of nonprofits. He met his partner, Dick Hammond, in the '60s. They spent 25 years together until Dick's passing in 1989. Dan was a lover of music, theater, animals and good-looking men. He knew every show tune, was a connoisseur of the pun and a great joke teller. He was known for his gentle spirit and patient nature. As an investor in the Tropicale, Dan enjoyed the camaraderie of his restaurant "family" and friends. A celebration of life will be held at the The Saguaro Hotel, 1800 E. Palm Canyon Drive, in Palm Springs on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. All who loved Dan are welcome.
