Wow! So sorry to hear this news!!! Working with Dan was one of the most memorable thing that happened to me when I was first transferred from California! He really helped me gain the courage that I needed to become an operator out in the process! He was fair and patient with all! Condolences to his family! What a wonderful human being! He will be missed!
