The Family of Daniel Reiff:
Dan was a kind and caring man who always offered to lend a helping hand. We went on many road trips together and sang to the oldies all the way. He had an exquisite taste for good food and knew all the top notch resturants and their specialities. Dan was a great friend. Our sincere condolences to family as you go through this difficult time of loss. Hopefully your memories of this great man live in you all forever…

Dan was such a great guy and always fun to be around. He loved adventure and exploring new things. Conversations with him were always so interesting. I will cherish the great times we had together and wish there would have been time for more. I send my sincere condolences to his family and friends he loved so dearly.

Dan wasn’t just a member of the team that won the St. Susan benefit Trivia in Jamestown NY and meeting “Cash Cab” host Ben Bailey. He was the guy that put our team together. A great trivia player and good friend. I’m going to miss his smiling face and quick wit. God’s speed.
Thank you
My husband grew up with Dan. They had some great stories when they came back from the hunting camp with the Sonderickers, Cerra boys and a bunch of guys. Dan was like family. His birthday was the day after my son’s and his daughter, Danielle’s, birthday was the same day as my husband’s. He will be missed, but at least he is no longer suffering with that terrible lung disease. RIP Dan. We love you.
Thank you
As one of the old coffee guy group, I enjoyed many an afternoon with Dan. Lots of good conversation and laughs. He will be sadly missed. Very sorry for your loss.
Thank you
Danielle: Although we’ve never met, I feel like I know you because your dad always spoke of you with such pride! Dan was a great guy and pistol competitor, and all who knew him were lucky to call him a friend. Sincere condolences.
Where do I even begin. I was Dan’s fiancé back in 1967. We reconnected a few years ago and chatted on the phone every couple months. I loved his catching me up on people we knew in high school and places we had frequented. We had lots of laughs. There were years to talk about with adventures, marriages, children, grandchildren, activities and opinions. I feel so blessed to have had Dan back in my life if only on the phone. I will miss our talks, but know how he suffered with the lung disease- but so courageous. Dan- you are always in my heart.
Thanks so much Barb. I know he enjoyed those calls also.
