I feel a bit ashamed of myself. Robert called earlier today and told me Dan had passed. I haven't been on AZ all day because I dreaded seeing this so much.
Dan was a very happy guy almost all the time. He loved pool and was always active in the calcuttas.
Dan loved the ladies events and was always so very supportive of them. Many I know are so very grateful to him and very sad right now.
We started the Fast eddies Tour almost 8 years ago. I had just gone through a divorce and was as broke as a person could be. We were struggling so hard, but determined to see it through.
We were at the Houston Open and Dan stopped near me and we began to talk. He said many nice things about the tour and thanked me for bringing it to Texas. I made the coment of being broke and really struggling, and Dan didn't say too much. We went our different ways that day and enjoyed the tournament. A few hours went by and Dancalled me outside, wanting to discuss something. We got out side and he made sure nobody was watching and stuffed some money in my shirt pocket and said, Ihope this will help. I thankedhim and tried to hand it back and again he stuffe it back in my shirt pocket and then walked to his car and left. As I was walking back inside I took a look at the money and it was $1000!! I nearly fell to the ground. I rushed back out and Dan was gone. It took a hwile, but I got him paid back and he never once brought it up and as far as I know never told anyone of it.
Dan was a cheerful, fun-loving, kind, and very caring man. I will miss him dearly and my prayers go out to his family which he spoke of often.
R.I.P. Dear Friend!!
