Message: [QUOTE="DaveR52, post: 1084655, member: 588"] Was at the beach when a friend texted with the news Sunday morning. My heart goes out to Dan's family and close friends, many of whom are the backbone of this board. I was shocked, to say the least, as I thought for sure Dan would come through this ordeal. I had a long conversation with him recently after Niko alerted me to the situation, and I can tell you Dan was thrilled by the visits he got from SU hoops and football coaches and players. I was humbled by the compliment he paid me by telling me he always felt he was a smarter football/lacrosse fan after reading my stories. I never knew that conversation would be our last. I'm glad we had it but wished we had more of them. Dan, you were the BEST SU fan ever, the true definition of the word. You never let a roadblock get in your way when it came to doing the right thing, as proven by the statue outside the Dome. That statue represents the best of SU sports. So do you. [/QUOTE]
