Dear Donna:

Donna and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn Dan's passing and celebrate his life. He was a great guy and full of life all the time. I enjoyed many hours with Dan on the golf course, over dinner or simply enjoying a drink together. Dan had an optimistic view on life and he would often share stories that carried a message. I am thankful that Dan and you reached out to Liz and me when we arrived in Easton. He was a trusted advisor and friend. I remember visiting him in Palm Beach where he told me straight out that I needed to join Northampton Country Club and that he was going to sponsor me. It was not open for discussion! It proved to be an important part of our life in Easton. We can only imagine how you must miss him, but we know that your memories will sustain you and hold him close in the days to come. Our best to you.
Gregg and Liz

Hello Donna ...

I remember as if it were yesterday this exceptionally bright and eager undergraduate seated a few feet from where I was standing as a newly-minted teaching assistant in business finance in Drown Hall at Lehigh. Dan just radiated smarts, curiosity, and enthusiasm. There was no doubt that beyond his many successes on the gridiron Dan would excel in life's pursuits. I cherish the conversations we had in recent times and relish gaining access to the long list of email recipients where Dan delivered his wonderful take like a seasoned sports writer on Lehigh football after each game. We will miss this bigger than life guy who brought joy and happiness to everyone he touched! Dale & Kay Falcinelli
