Sad news indeed!

I knew Dan well back in the early to mid 70's. I wrote a series of articles on Topps test sets and other oddball releases for TTS. He worked very hard to keep the publication going.

Dan was a cop in "real" life. One of my most lasting memories of Dan had nothing to do with the hobby.

There was a "convention" as we called them then in Long Island and Dan took a group of us ( Gar Miller, Don Lepore, Bill Mastro, John Rumeriez, and I think Irv Lerner) out for the evening to what is now referred to as a Gentlemen's Club. It had a different name in those days.

He walked us in, flashed his badge and we got the best service of anyone there that night. I guess the club had to keep the cops on their good side!!

Cool guy
