I have lost a truly dear friend, mentor, neighbor, and tower partner. Dan was the most even keeled person I have ever had the pleasure to know, and I will always remember our times together. Anyone that knew Dan now has an empty spot in their life.
Dan was an extened part of my family, we celebrated holidays, birthdays, and any other thing we could think about.
God speed dear friend, 73 es dit dit
cul,

I received the news of Dan's passing this morning from our mutual friend Ken, W8LU. I am deeply saddened. I had the priviledge of operating from KL7Y's great station on three ocassions, most recently in Feb. 2002, but the greatest priviledge and honor was just in knowing Dan. Dan never complained about anything - not even when the aurora would hit during a good run or when the 40 mtr. rotor would freeze up during a Nov. contest. His good natured, easy going style was a blessing that I will long remember. He shared his station, his time, his skills and most importantly, his heart, with everyone he came in contact.
God bless you Dan and may you RIP.
Gary, KR8V

The world wide amateur radio community has suffered a tremendous loss with Dan's passing. He will be sorely missed by many.
My condolences to those that loved him, those that knew him, and those that never had the privelege.

I've been out of the loop for a while, but saddened to hear of radio's loss of one of AK's finest. I'll never forget that 50-over 9 signal and his way of always hearing and listening... Bless you & your family

The world is a poorer place today, as a Giant has passed from us...but lets be glad and grateful to have known this icon...and Alaska's Ham Radio Ambasseduer to the world. It is not everyday that one can know a hero.
Godspeed my dear friend ... there is a large and empty hole in all of us now, but we will always be looking up to you.

Yikes. I was hoping that rumor was only a rumor.
There are certain operators who simply *are* their country. Cape Verde=D44BC. Ascension=ZD8Z. U.A.E.=A61AJ. South Africa=ZS6EZ. Panama=HP1AC. Yukon=VY1JA.
And Alaska=KL7Y. Name a contest; his was the call that was always there.
When someone joins Silent Keys, it's common to say they'll be missed. In Dan's case, we mean it.
