Dan was a role model who will be missed. I am grateful to have known him if only through this forum.

OMG...this is very sad news, I find myself not knowing what to say.

Dan became one of my very first "virtual" friends since joining AA years ago and I am truly saddened by this news. In many respects, he was the embodiment of the wonderful culture at AA.

RIP DAN, and Godspeed...

This is such sad news. In many ways Dan was the heart and soul of AA. In his posts he revealed not only his knowledge of and love for audio but also what he obviously was: a true gentleman. My condolences to his family and friends.

Default With a very heavy heart...

I am devastated to read this thread. What a kick in the gut. A nicer person I’ve never known, always giving of his time and knowledge for his fellow music loving brethren. What a gem you are Dan. RIP my friend. Your old 601s have been up and running nearly non stop this week. Later tonight, I will listen with heavy heart to your amps. Maybe I’ll queue up some Liz Story as a tribute. So sad.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear this news. Dan was an absolute gentleman who graciously shared his knowledge and passion for this hobby with so many of us. My thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and all of his AA family here. Rest in eternal peace Dan.

My condolences to everyone close to Dan. It's very saddening to read this, tonight.
To say he's made a lasting impact on the AA community is an understatement.
