I'm in shock. I had seen the posts of him being in the hospital and thought this was the same thread. Dan was a huge help when I put my motor together, many of the parts were ordered though him. I wouldn't have gone as fast as I did without his help. I'm thankful I had the pleasure of meeting him in person. Very sorry to hear the news. My sincere condolences to his family. RIP Dan.

Very sad news indeed. Sending wishes for peace to his family and friends.
RIP Dan

We are very sad to hear of Dan's passing and want to pass along our prayers and well wishes to Dan's family and friends during this difficult time.

From Ken Black and everyone at KBRE

Horrible news to read. RIP Dan.

Terrible news Haven't been around here much lately, stopped by and found this. SMH.

My sympathy to his family and friends.

What a shame....

R.I.P.

Just for a quick update. Dans family will be having services in Syracuse NEw York on June 28th 2014.There are a fair amount of members who may want to attend who are within driving distance, so I hope some may attend. I have recieved the blessing from the family, to do a nice big smoky burnout at the services, with one of Dans favorite Mopars that he owned, a 67 Coronet R/T. More details to follow, and thank you everyone for the kind words and wishes for Dans family. It has been a great challenge for them, and they have been amazed at the support and number of friends Dan had in the Mopar community. It all helps.

So sorry to hear of Dans passing...this was a shock and I'll miss his phone calls and his posts. Don't know what else to say...very sad news.

wow this is sad, having read he was sick i fully expected him to be back here telling of how he overcame the ordeal. it's been some time but we've spoken on a number of occasions and i ordered a callies crank and diamond pistons from him, he always had time to talk shop.

RIP Dan we'll miss you

sad to hear, RIP, Prayers to the family

Haven't posted anything till now,,guess I am still in denial that this has happened, and still really don't know what to say other than the motorsports industry has lost one heck of a man that we will all sorely miss.

As we mourn the loss of Dan, let us also celebrate the man and his legacy. Here is Dan, back in October 2012, prepping my 318 stroker for its first dyno pull. Dan built it for my Jeep Wrangler project.



Here is Dan, along with Gary Davis (Unlawfl) back in February 2001, helping me get my 440 running for the first time. Gary and Dan were awesome guys, because they had volunteered to spend the entire day (in Dan's case, two days) to help someone they had never met before.

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He will be sadly missed.
Great guy to talk to both socially and on a professional level, and nothing was a problem even being on the other side of planet.

RIP Mate!

Wow. This is sad news to read. RIP Dan.

Dan was a genuine good guy, long time friend and also a good customer. I will always remember the long phone conversations we had (many lasting over an hour) where we talked about everything under the sun. I am sure everyone on this forum will miss him. I know I will. My condolances to his family. RIP my friend.

Just donated to his cause and am very sorry to hear the news. Did business with Dan several years back and he was a stand up guy with a critical eye for perfection. I admired his skills and quirky style here on Moparts. whenever he chimed in on a post I always had to read it as you never new what direction he was going to go. Very entertaining knowledgeable guy. I hope the family all the best in this tough time!!!

Don't get on here very much these days and see this. So sorry for his family. Dan was top notch. Almost all the parts for my Hemi build have come from him and it was IMPOSSIBLE to have a short conversation with him. Such a nice and intelligent guy to talk with. RIP Dan, you will be missed.

Man, what is with this!? This truly sucks. RIP , Dan. Really great meeting him and Jimmy with the ProMod Dart. Very sad.
Here Dan is in Jimmy's trailer at the Mopar Nats when I first fitted his engine with wires. Great meeting these Florida guys for the first time.
