So sorry to hear this. Dan has been a staunch supporter of the hobby for so many years and an expert on Sheaffer. At one time he and I were on the PCA Board of Directors. He was diligent sharing his history of Sheaffer, technical and repair information.

The message I am getting with losses of some of our dear friends lately is that we should treasure your friends and even if after long pauses in contacts, give a call, write a letter, let them know you still think of them and have valued their friendship.
We all have a shelf life.

Our condolences to his family and his world wide friends.
