From Lydia and Harry Weisman

Yes, he always had that nice zaftig laugh; yes, he always showed love and appreciation for his wife and children; yes, he always was a most respectful son-in-law; yes, he always was a most sincere bal tshuva; one could argue he had years to perfect all these roles. However, when he faced his sudden terminal disease with such honesty, courage and openness, I was simply blown away. How could he know in an instant that he should rely on his faith to guide him; how could he understand immediately that he needed to support and appreciate all his beloved wife’s efforts on his behalf and that she was his partner to the end; how could he grasp that he needed to make herculean efforts to savor every precious gift of each moment with his children and grandchildren of whom he was so proud, and showed them his pride. I can truly say Daniel became a role model for me in how to deal with adversity with courage and dignity, and always believing that Hashem is by your side. I believe it was partly because he showed this love for Hashem and the people around him that everyone gathered around him to show their support, but I believe also to be near him to learn from him. I know I feel honored to have learned from him. May his memory always be for a blessing. Lydia and Harry
