I met Daniel at Skokie Meadows where a friend of mine was living. A few years ago on Rosh Hashana I went there to give the Jewish residents a "taste" of the New Year. Daniel helped me "round up" the residents and we had apples and honey, challah and gefilte fish. His death was a shock to me. He entered my heart and will stay with me always.
May his Memory be for a Blessing.
Amen

Daniel:

Even after all these years, I have so many good memories of when we knew each other as children, or when we we talked and laughed over the years or even when we last spoke about your Dad, Raymond. Dan; I'll miss you much.

I was saddened to read of Dan's death, he was so young. I am the former Administrator of Skokie Meadows, where I met and became friendly with Daniel. I remember him as a kind, warm-hearted person, who went out of his way to be friendly with everyone. He was loved by all and will be missed. May you know no more sorrow.

May the memories that you have of Mr. Podolsky, carry you through the future days. I am sure there were so many of them. In the way he treated persons, the way he made people laugh, smile, and feel so good. He gave so much to others as he gave them support in dealing with problems and situation. He will able to return and enjoy the beauties of the land again.
sincerely,

I went to high school with a Judy Perlman, but we lost touch over the years. If this is the Judy that went to Roosevelt High School, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Best wishes to the family. Dan was a special guy in many ways, with irrepressible wit, recently told me the one about the psychiatrist and the light bulb-Only if you want to do it. Dan did it.

Dear Judy,
Reading of Daniel's death this morning brought us great sadness. We remember him growing up and especially from the SSSDS eighth grade trip to Washington which we chaperoned, much to our daughter Rachel's chagrin. Michael and Daniel became a team and "travelled" the sights together.
We think of you today and wish we could ease your pain at this time of loss. We want you to know we are thinking of you. May his memory be for a blessing.
