Dan was my immediate supervisor at Gloucester County College in the early 70s. He met Jeannine there. Fond and fun memories of him. He was a great guy and a good sport when it came to some of our pranks. So sorry to hear of his passing. Sharon Mason Lachat

Dan was a good person with a kind heart and gentle nature. I will always remember his smile and sense of humor. We lost a great man but gained a wonderful guardian angel. My thoughts are with all of Dan’s family and friends. May Dan and the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. 🙏🙏

I'll always remember my brother-in-law for his dry wit and impish grin. He was a wonderful husband and father, and his niece's and nephews loved him dearly. He fought a valiant fight for nearly 10 years. He will be missed more than I can possibly express. Rest in peace, Dan 💜

Dan was such a beautiful soul. Although, I have not seen him in years, I will remember the last time we spoke of a love for SPSS and the newer versions.
