So sorry to hear of Dan's passing. A true hobby icon going way back, always friendly and ready to share his monumental store of knowledge about the stuff.

I first met Dan probably back in 1985 or '86 when I was working in the front office for the Cubs and Dan bought all of the old, wooden seats that were removed from the third base side during a winter renovation. There were allot of seats and they were heavy as many were in twos and threes and I helped him and the small army he brought with him load them into U-Hauls.

I always wanted to reach out to him to see if he had any of those seats left but never took the time to do so. I would see him at shows and we would exchange pleasantries but our conversations never turned to the seats. He was a good man with a love for the hobby and it is sad to see him go.

Does anyone have a picture of Dan? Rest in peace my friend. I know I've heard his name over the years but never met him.

I had a few dealings with Dan years ago when I used to collect non-sports. He was a super nice guy and always fair with me. Very sad to hear.
