Dan was my good friend for more than fifty years.  He was a thinker who cared deeply about social issues, even orchestrating a student protest in high school in support of a gay administrator.  He was my roommate one summer near UCLA, where we had many great adventures.  Over the years we stayed in touch and visited when we could.  At our last visit, at dinner in Manhattan, Dan charmed my daughters with wit and entertaining stories.  Dan was loved and will be remembered fondly.

Lots of time has passed but I still have great memories of time with Buzz.  He was easy going and a good friend.  His photo shows he still looks the same as when he was 15, just grey.  I'm sure his great personality held up too.  Rest in peace, Buzz.

We will miss Dan's zest for life. His imagination and intellect was always top rate. Our condolences to Marianne and Brittany.  You will remain forever in our hearts. Eva and Carlos

Our deepest condolences on Buzz's passing. We have fond memories going back many years and he will always be remembered with lots of love. 
Love,
Ken & Mary Ellen Martin





So sorry to hear about Dan.   Lou and I send our Heartfelt  Sympathies.   It is hard for us to find the words  that may bring  you comfort but know we are thinking of  you  during this difficult time.
May Dan rest in Peace.        

Rita and Lou Aquina
