I was saddened to hear of Dan's passing. I grew up with Dan on Nutwood street and have many fond memories of playing with Dan.(and eating figs off his fig tree) He was the first to drive so he graciously gave us rides to the beach in the summer! He was a great friend and playmate. My prayers are with you, Patti, and all his loved ones.
