Last I spoke to him was a few years back I believe. I know there were some issues with health and with work at that time for him.

He was always willing to help out with information.

Hope everything's ok with him.

Unfortunately, he lost his home in Quakertown, PA several years ago due to back taxes, and then made a spectacle of the situation by boarding himself up inside of it. So, it was all over the news and simply made a bad situation worse. I believe he then moved back to NJ, and was rebuilding his tile installation business, but then lost track of him. I will always remain a 'Dan Fan', his enthusiasm was / is unmatchable as is his willingness to share information. Although a bit abrasive at times, it was typically warranted towards those who were in this hobby only for the $$$.... Hope he is doing well, and thriving instead of surviving.

Last I heard from him was last year. He called. Health was not good. Don't think he could do tiling anymore as his knees were shot.

Last time I heard from him 3 yrs ago he was all about politics. Cars were ok, but over the edge on the other. Good guy on a hair trigger.

Dan was always pleasant and generous with me. He did a lot of research on ZL1 #4 for us, leading to the first retail owner. Found an NOS Hauser Chev dealer badge. He gave us all this, didn't ask for anything. Of course, he was rewarded.

Hope he gets his life back on track.
