My memories of your father are all fond. He was always willing to make the transatlantic + transcontinental flight for family smachot--he could have sent your mother--but he was always a willing participant. I always felt comfortable with Daniel because he would always have a joke or kind word to pass on to me. I know how bad he felt when Michael died, and I remember a lovely luncheon I had with your parents and Avi-z"l and Nancy in Center 1 a couple of years ago. Your father always had a good family story to tell, remembering every detail. I was also impressed with the knowledge he had of my Zedy-z"l because via his shiur with him-he probably got to know him better than any of the other grandchildren. I also remember that when my neighbor was seriously injured in Santa Barbara, I was able to contact Daniel in the middle of the night and know I would get some good advice. (In this case it was to contact Chabad which turned out to be a G-dsend of course).
This Pesach season is so difficult to be without our closest relatives. I know that Pesach was so important for your father--to have the whole family together--to give as much kavod as possible to your grandparents and to have the family together for the seder.
I can only add: מן השמים תנחמון.
