I was very sad to learn of Dan's passing. Though I had fallen out of touch with him after 2005, we became close while working together in Boston. Dan was a singular guy; witty, charming, incredibly enterprising. He was enthusiastic about so many things: music, business, innovation. I was always struck by his fearlessness when it came to ideas. I remember in 2003 his idea to buy buses and shuttle New England sports fans to and from games. It seemed as though he saw all challenges as a simple matter of logistics. Anything seemed achievable in his mind. He was a kind, warm, incredibly intelligent and charismatic guy. Thankfully, as I'm sure is the case for many, I have many great memories of time spent with Dan.

I'm so sorry Mr. and Mrs. Guarda, and Dan's sister, about whom he spoke so sweetly.
