Daniel Morris Singer

10/10/1930 - 04/15/2025

Daniel Morris Singer died on April 15, 2025, in the Washington, DC home where he and his wife Maxine Frank Singer lived for 65 years and raised four children. Throughout his career as a lawyer at Fried Frank and long after he retired, he volunteered his time and legal expertise to the local DC public school and neighborhood associations, the Federation of American Scientists, the Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the DC Appleseed Center for Law and Justice, the American Jewish Congress, the American Bar Association, and the Developing Families Center in Washington, DC.
Dan grew up in Great Neck, NY. He attended Swarthmore College (1951) and Yale Law School (1954). He loved travel, photography, art, scuba diving, and was a passionate grammarian. His kindness and reliability – as a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, classmate, neighbor, and employer – will not soon be forgotten. Maxine Singer passed away in July 2024. Daniel is survived by four children, Amy, Ellen, David and Stephanie, and four grandchildren. May his name be for a blessing.
