So sorry to hear this and hoping you will be well taken care of. 

Prayers for you Dan.

Hi everyone,

My name is Chris and I'm writing to let everyone know that my father, Dan, passed peacefully yesterday afternoon. He and I really started talking a lot about cards and collecting/trading when he got sick and I just wanted everyone to know how much he really enjoyed spending his time here with this community with everyone. My family would like to thank you all for the kind words, it is really nice to know so many people were in his corner.

Thanks again,

Chris

My sincerest condolences to you Chris and your family.  Thank you for taking the time to let us know.

My condolences, Chris. I never traded with your dad, but I can honestly say this community is one of the most caring on the internet, and it sounds like he fit right in. I lost my dad 9 years ago (at the beginning of December), and the space dads leave behind is never one that can be filled. I'm glad he was able to share his love of the hobby with you, and I hope it is something you can think about fondly and remember him through over the years.

Hello Chris-

ditto from another mark

one memory I would like to share about Dan is that he was a member of another trading group I was in about 20 years ago (OBC- oldbaseball.com).

a few years ago here on TCDB, he came across a forum posting by me here, and sent me a message asking if my address was still the same....he kept some envelopes from trades from almost 20 years ago!-  That was pretty crazy (and cool).

RIP Dan!

Condolences to you and your family Chris, your dad and I joked about being the good Canadians on the site. Poking fun at so many other of his Canadian friends. I know he had do many friends on both sides of the border and he will be truly missed. RIP PappaG you were a good man.

Chris,

Very sorry to hear of your dad's passing, but thank you for letting us know. My condolences to you and your family. You dad was one of only few members on my "friends" list and I did have the pleasure to trade some cards with him a couple of times over the years.

I'm very sorry to hear about your father, Chris. I recall seeing this post some months ago by him and was rooting for him, hoping that it would end victoriously. I'm glad you were able to share some conversations with him, as he will be missed in many circles.

Dan and I traded cards and banter. I'm extremely saddened to hear of his passing. And Chris, I feel for you as my father passed last year around this time. Thank you for letting us know. Please take comfort in knowing that your father was a VERY well-respected member of the TCDB community. Also, you have my sincerest condolences (and I'm sure I won't be the last on here to express that).

RIP Dan.
