RIP Dan.

A huge loss to the community. RIP Dan.

Very sad news indeed. R.I.P.

I never spoke with Dan personally, but did exchange PMs a few times. He will surely be missed. R.I.P. Dan.

I am deeply saddened and somewhat shocked to hear this.....I thought he was "on the mend". I was looking forward to calling him after the week-end to see how he was.

I had never met Dan but spoke to him dozens of times, several times well into the night. He did the offset grind on my 517 motor, Which was the motor I built in Honor of Gary Davis as he said his next project was going to be a low deck stroker. Dan though this was a cool tribute and was very supportive to me all through the buiild.

We all worked together on the Engine Masters project and that was a lot of fun, Dan was a true "old school" master craftsman, I will miss him greatly and remember him as an honored friend. It's still 'sinking in' and I'm still a bit off kilter trying to process.....May God's grace be upon his family and all of us, his many friends.

I am sorry to hear about this. My condolences to all friends and family.

You are never prepared to hear of someones passing.Dan did a crank for me last year and spent numerous times on the phone discussing my stuff and mopars in general.He will be missed and my deepest condolences to his family,friends,and the mopar community.
When I can afford to build the motor it will be a little more special knowing he did the crank and gave me the guidance to achieve my goal.

Don't remember ever meeting Dan. Pmed a few times. Sad news

Here is a question for those who knew Dan the best.

Where would Dan send someone for Quality Machine Work if he had to refer.

Selfishly, I would ask "Dan, where should I take my 440 (that you built) if you weren't around."


I don't need anything, just thinking out loud.
I still can't believe it.
RIP Dan

I was planning on meeting Dan next year and have him build a new motor for my '67 Belvedere.
Shocking and sad news.

RIP Dan

I am so sorry for you loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Very shocking news...Dan PMed me many times when I was building my R3 and helped me a lot on some of the quirks...I really feel bad for his family, I have been very ill myself lately and know what my family is going through. What a great loss to the Mopar community and to Moparts, Dan was just one of those people that was the very fiber of this sight and his contribution to it should be remembered always. Godspeed My Friend And may God be kind to the giving and considerate person you were in life.

Shocked and saddened to hear this. I knew he was sick but thought he was out of the woods. I just don't get over to the race board enough.
RIP, Dan. His family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.

I just had a customer come by and mentioned he wanted a 440 built, I said "you need to go to Dan at Performance Only, he's the guy to do it." He replied, "when was the last time you talked to him..." and at that point I knew it was bad news. last time I saw him was probably back in April at his shop. Great Guy, he will be missed
