We were shocked to hear of Dan's passing. I loved him and worked with him for the past 16 years for our daughter joannas wedding and every year for my Rosh Hasunah holiday flowers. He was kind , fun and so talented. Please know we are deeply saddened by this news. With warmest regards

Dan, was a friend I did so many fun things with back in the day. When he co-owned The Richmond Florist, with Howard Wells, they did the most exquisite work. I've thought of them often over the years. Dan was a very special man. My condolences go out to his partner John Reichert and many blessings to him.
