DANIEL HOROWITZ Obituary
Daniel Horowitz June 20, 1949 - August 11, 2019
A deeply loved (and loving) husband, father, son, and brother; a talented lawyer, teacher, cornhole competitor, and goofer-offer with a legendary laugh; and a man of steady intelligence, committed ethics, and gentle patience. He negotiated international tax agreements in Kazakhstan, and he was robbed at gunpoint while driving a taxicab in Times Square. He accumulated loyal friends from first grade onwards, many who remained at his side until the very end. The first time he asked a girl on a date was on the final day of high school - and they spent the next 52 years together. Danny's clear-eyed courage was an example to us all: his wife Amity, sons Jesse and Eli, daughter-in-law Rachel, sister Debby, and parents Larry and Shirley. A truly, truly, truly good guy. No services, but donations in his memory can be made to Washington to Washington (washingtontowashington.org), a camping adventure for inner-city kids - an organization that gave him great joy.

Hello Amity,
I hope this gets to you. I know you'll remember me, and I gave my name as Danny to jostle your memory, though I've been Daniel for many years. I just came upon a wonderful little letter you wrote me from Smith in 1968. I quickly, to my joy, discovered you married my old MVB friend, Daniel, and published a children's book in the late '80s. Then, sadly, I came across this beautiful obit of Daniel from 2019. I hope you'll get this message. I'll give you my email address: [email protected]. Write back! --Daniel

Danny was a true technical mentor to me. What he taught me about tax changed my career and put me on the very fortunate path that I am on today. It was truly a gift to be able to work with someone of his caliber. I agree on the laugh... I remember it well. Not so certain on the "gentle" part of patience:) Sorry for your loss.

Amity, I am so very sorry to her of Danny's passing. I will always think of him being there for you when the Drill Team marched in the parade. Alan joins me in sending our condolences. He was way too young. Hope to see you soon.
