I remember Dan as a gentle soul, always good-natured. There was always sports and music in the conversations, but Dan would many times get philosophical too. Sometimes you would have to clarify,´ Dan, do you mean that in a philosophical sense or what we were just talking about?´ I would visit brother Denny when he was going to Pitt in the early 70s, and there would be Dan visiting between his trips to Denver, Pitt and Bethlehem. We´d be sleeping on a couch or a spare bed if one of the room-mates was away. Then there were the visits to the ice rink after-hours when the Zamboni came out and we'd shoot pucks into the net and such. Always had a good time back then, shared a beer or two back in the day. From all the comments from his friends and family, Dan will be missed and remembered well. See you on the other side Dan!

I'll remember my cousin Danny in the good times we had when we lived together in Denver with his father, my mother and my siblings and his friend Phil. Those really were the "good old days."

My absolute sincere condolences. Dan was one of the best people in my life to grow up with. I've known him my entire life and I kept in touch post Ice Palace years. Dan and I shared the same ear for music and he was truly such an amazing, charming and incredibly intellectual human being. Love you Brother Dan - Brother Ry

Thoughts and prayers Dan, it´s been a long time since I´ve seen ya, we spent many of hours at Albert ice arena back with Al Newhart. Is really amazing but only a few days ago I had ask the question of what ever became of your whereabouts, somehow your guardian angel must have poked me on the backside, well my friend I´m sure your somewhere up above with the big boys looking down on us. You were always a great person here on solid ground. So I´m sure you´ll be asking where you´re at now. God bless n keep you buddy, your friend Mike " ice capades" 64.

I am stunned after talking to him on the phone April 14th. He was absolutely the best guy ever. No one was nicer, more polite or loving than my brother Dan. You will be so missed by so many people who love you. I love you forever, my brother Dan.
