Kristen - I check occasionally on the internet re Daniel's health and read of his passing August 4th. I am so very sorry. I worked for well over 12 years with Daniel on a number of companies. Each time we spoke we talked about finally meeting one another. That never happened and so very sad because I could always hear the infliction in his voice as to how much he loved life and travel and his family. Our discussions always included one of those subject matters. I can hear his voice now as I provide this message. My heart goes out to you and your family and his wife.
