[URL='http://www.cnycentral.com/news/photos.aspx?id=1069361'][IMG]http://www.cnycentral.com/uploadedImages/wstm/News/Stories/us%20with%20dan.jpg?w=204&h=153&aspect=nostretch[/IMG][/URL] [URL='http://www.syracusefan.com/'][U]Syracusefan.com[/U][/URL]. Dan, religiously, every day, would post as many articles pertaining to all things Syracuse as he could find. Some article were mainstream stories featuring well-known athletes while others talked about that athlete who graduated 10 years ago and had two rushing yards in one game in the Arena League last season. Nothing got past “Orangeyes”. It made Syracusefan.com a must-visit site for all SU fans and even members of the media. A couple of years into my career, one of MY stories was posted by Orangeyes. That’s when I knew I made it. A “thank you” email to him sparked a friendship that changed my life, and one that I hope enhanced his life half as much as it did mine. Dan’s footprint on Syracuse is inspiring. From his days at St. John the Evangelist to his career with softball teams and 40-and-over hoops, Dan has friends probably on every street in this community. Syracuse will never be the same. Not just because Dan is gone but because his lifelong, tireless dedication to all things Orange absolutely changed this town. Central New York, we lost a great man today but his legacy can and will live on with every fan who steps through the turnstiles at the Carrier Dome. We’ll miss you Dan, and I hope you can provide a gust of wind to allow me my first hole-in-one. As you always said, “You just have to keep swinging.” That may be hard for a while, but eventually, all of your friends will do it in your honor. [/QUOTE]
