  16. Dear Kristin, Jackie, Mike, Michele, Brian, Dave and Holly – please know that our hearts ache for you, and that Dane is in our prayers. Maybe the following will offer some comfort. Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and your are you, the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. With Love, Peg and Don

  24. Kristin, John and I are so devastated to hear of Dane’s passing. You know how much he meant to John, and our time together in SA was really special, especially to me. I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through, but John and I are here for you if you need us. Dane was such a special person in this world and all that knew him knows that in certainty. We spent the evening telling ‘Dane’ stories and cried (and laughed) alot. We will forever miss his wit and laughter. John thinks he should have been ‘the mad professor’; convincing students of his point, right or wrong! Our hearts are with you and your families. He was one in a million, that is for sure. I’m glad our lives intersected – we are better for it. Call us anytime – 916-213-3064. Stay stong, Love, Cate and John

  34. Dane was a really fine human being and I miss him terribly. We disagreed in major ways politically, but were able to hammer out our differences in a remarkably civil fashion. That’s hard to find and I regret not spending more time with him. My condolences to his family and friends, and I hope it’s some comfort that he’s at peace now. Love ya, Dane.

  35. Randy (Fly) is my best friend in my world and he loved and thought of Dane as a best friend…I am so sorry to hear about this…may God keep you all strong and positive. Love from Randy’s friend(s), , , Tina

  36. My deepest sympathies go out to Dane’s wife, family and his many good friends. I am stunned and deeply saddened to hear of Dane’s passing. Dane and I were good friends in middle school in Alexandria, VA in the late ’70’s. As you might imagine, Dane was one of the most popular people in our class. Unfortunately, we did not keep in touch over the years, but I have thought of him often since I still live near his old house. In recent years, I tried to re-establish contact with Dane but could not find the phone number. It turns out I was using the wrong spelling on the last name. Today I tried a new spelling and reached this memorial web-site. I am crushed by the news. Tonight after work I will walk by the old house on Uhler Terrace and think of my old friend. Dane was a very special person and I’ll remember him always.

  37. I remember Dane as a young teenager. He was so smart…so worldly and intelligent for his age. When I think Dane and his family, I have wonderful memories of giving and loving people. I am SO saddened by your tragic loss. I believe that our loved ones that went before us will be waiting to greet us. Fondly, Pat Clark Szuba

  38. I was a friend of Dane’s while we lived in Saudi Arabia during 1978/79/80. We both attended the international school in Riyadh,and for me it was a very rough transition coming from canada so I had few friends but Dane was the one who really made a difference. Obviously I knew a different Dane from the one you all knew throughout his whole life, and as a successful adult-yet Its nice to know he didnt change and grew up a great guy ,just as he was when we were a couple of teenagers skateboarding and hanging out living in such a different world. I’m not sure what exactly made me finally track Dane down…I often think back to those days so long ago. I was proud to call him my friend way back then and I hope his family will know that he was a very special person then ,just as he was later in life .I guess it truly goes to show you how our positive actions can follow us throughout the years,a legacy I know I will try to aspire to myself. rest well my friend.

  39. I have fond memories of Dane in high school. I found out about Dane’s passing very late through some friends in Texas, and only just found his memorial web site. We have sent up many prayers for you and your family. God bless.
