Greg and I are so sad to hear this news. Dan was a member of our 1970 class at Adams Memorial High School. I remember Dan playing the guitar in one of our English classes and outside the school on the "wall," where we would meet before and after school, and in between. He was such a nice guy.
Rest in peace Dan.
