I worked for Dan as an office manager when I was in college in 1983-1984 (and for a short time afterward when my first job went belly-up). He first introduced me to proofreading and copy editing, which ended up being my career. Thanks, Dan, for everything.

oh, I am so sad to learn that Dan has died....more than a year ago. I have treasured listening to Dan's wisdom and profound humanity for decades via Voices in the Family, his column in the Inquirer, in later years his short interviews on WHYY. What a huge gift he made of his life. Such an example of adversity and pain turned into love, kindness, and generosity. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss, but I am so happy for you that you had his presence among you,
