I met Dan when i was a teenager growing up by the Van Buren Street tennis courts. If i didn’t have someone to play with, I would go to the tennis courts, with raquet in hand, and look to see if anyone would ask me to play. Many days Dan would be there playing with a group of men. After he was done playing against them, he would ask me if i would like to play against him. I learned so much about tennis from Dan~and more so~putting others’ needs before your own. I’m sure that he could have found many other things to do after playing in the hot sun for hours, but he always took the time to reach out to this very inexperienced player. I am forever grateful for the many things he taught me about tennis…and life! He was truly a blessing to me~and so many others. My deepest condolences to his family and close friends.
