Dear Yvonne, 
May the memories you and Dan shared bring you comfort. You and your family are in my thoughts. As noted by the chronological events from other posters, I too met Dan roughly 38 years ago. We met upon the introductions into our B2B relationship. Dan was the B2B supplier to me and we quickly evolved to more than just a customer supplier relationship. It wasn’t too long before Dan was hanging out with my group of friends and I/we were soon hanging out with Dan’s family and friends.
Dan’s persona can adapt to any group of two or more and is usually “On” or in the ready position at minimum. During my several years in knowing Dan both professionally and personally, I cannot not remember even one time when Dan was having a bad day, he only ever saw the Sun. And, it is because of his outlook, that people wanted to be around Dan.
In getting to know Dan you quickly realize that if you are going to try to go toe to toe against Dan in trivia of any game, be ready for a battle. G words that describe Dan- Generous, Gregorius, Game On, Gutty, Gentle
 To you Yvonne, as Roger pointed out, I was the one that brought Dan into our group, and in hide sight, what a wonderful happenstance for you and Dan to have met, fallen in love, and to have enjoyed each other for so many years. What a beautiful ending to a wonderful love story!

Dear Yvonne,
Hector and I are so sorry for the loss of your Danny. We did not know him well, but the times we saw you and him at Bonta, we got to see the beautiful love you shared  for each other. We saw his beautiful soul right away. So sorry his life was cut short, bit I know he will live on in your heart.

With sll our love for you and your family,
Petra and Hector Salvatierra

Dear Yvonne
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Danny. I did not know him but could tell from your FB posts how much he meant to you & can only imagine the grief & loss you must feel. 
May all the wonderful memories, along with love & support of family & friends comfort you in the days ahead. 
With love 
Trisha

I didn't get to know Dan very well, but I could tell from a glance that he was a great man. I'm grateful that he was able to make it to my wedding.

Danny was always close to me, he may have been four years younger but was involved in many of the things we did. As we grew older we tried to stay in touch. We enjoyed bowling together for years, we played cards with Rose at family get-togethers, and never got tired of talking politics. What I will always cherish about Danny boy was his generosity. Always lending me his tools for my projects and sharing his unbelievably broad knowledge. I will miss not being able to talk to him. I can still hear him calling “Hey Tommy!” loud and gruff, same as me, letting everyone know we were there.

I am so lucky to have known this wonderful man when I did. I happened to meet Yvonne and Dan by chance when looking for pet-sitting work. Upon meeting them and pet-sitting they told me to consider them my Aunt and Uncle and Dan agreed whole-heartedly to that. I've never forgotten that. It meant a lot to me. He was so special and was so fun to talk with. There was one thing clear about Dan whenever I saw him, he loved his wife, his family, and especially little Louie. I'm so thankful and grateful that he got to experience my wedding. The world will be a little lesser without Dan in it.

Pictures of Jay & Dan & Rick ( Rick introduced us to Dan )  we are all going to miss Dan , He is a legend  there’s so many stories that we could talk about , but none of them should be put on this page. He was always so fun to be around

Pictures of Dan always being the life of the party 🎉  Chad & Shannon always enjoyed seeing Dan so fun to be around

I was always pleased when paired up with Dan’s  golf foursome. I knew it was going to be a fun round with someone who was always positive, encouraging and supportive, even when I hit a bad shot. He was a special man and will be missed. John Pugsley

Dan was my friend, my family and my buddy. He was lucky to marry my best friend in the world 37 years ago. You couldn’t help but fall in love with him,  Kind , fun , loyal and the biggest personality I’ve ever met. We shared so many good times and adventures !! I will miss him terribly and loved him with all my heart. RIP my buddy Dano 💔🙏

Dan worked for me for many years. Firstly at Nortron Corp, the world’s first computer wheel balancer company. Then at InGolf, the worlds first computer golf simulator company.  Dan was an important and model employee. We became very close friends and golfing buddies. 
Dan was my only true friend. His infectious happiness, kindness and selflessness, touched all who knew him. He will be sorely missed, especially by his beautiful sole mate Yvonne. It is cause for celebration that he is now in heaven.

Dan & I met doing business together in L.A.  We soon became fast friends.  We had so many laughs & great adventures together - most of which can not be shared online.  We loved to cruise down Sunset Blvd. in his Corvette - listening to Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On."  Simply put - Tubbs & Crockett had nothing on us.  Love you Brother - I will miss you.   Jim Busch

I met Dan in 2014 and liked him from the start.  He had just joined the Santa Teresa Golf Club and we were paired up to play as a two man team. We had so much fun that we played together in ever tournament until he moved to AZ. 
He always talked about how much he loved and adored his wife Yvonne. 
I will miss Dan and hope that one day we can play golf together on the big golf course in the sky. 
He is a picture I took of Dan at Castlewood Country Club.

💔 You will be greatly missed by many friends and family.

Danny and I were childhood friends and lived around the block from one another.  He played little league with my cousins and our Dads were coaches. My name was Patty MacDonald (Stuckert, married name. )  I always remember Danny with a smile on his face and could talk anyone into anything! May God Bless him and his family. Till we meet again old friend..

Couldn't ask for a better Godfather... will miss you ! Thanks for being there for me UD... 
We will see each other again !
Love ya,
Pauly
