Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! Posted by Harald on November 1, 2023, 10:15 am, in reply to "In honor of Daniel’s life! " Arriving at the beach in front of his office, having always intersteing talks, sharing thoughts, Daniel became my brother and we either called each other Buddy buddy or brother. I was with him during his last breathing efforts. I do not want to see his ashes driving away. Please accept that I wish to stay home and say another goodbye in the quietness of the house he sold to me. Good bye brother.

He was a man of significance in our town. I hope I can spend a quiet moment of reflection at the oceanside of his office when I get to LM next week.

RIP ❤️

Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! Posted by Rob Lindsay on November 1, 2023, 3:32 pm, in reply to "In honor of Daniel’s life! " Karen and I were so saddened to hear the news of Daniel's passing. We will raise a glass of Centenario Reposado at 5 pm tonight, here in Edmonton, Alberta. I will also have a sip of a very old, better tasting {for those who know the story} bottle of Corralejo to remember the old, good times on the beach. Daniel was one of the first people in La Manzanilla that I met, through my brother. He taught me important things in life, like 'how to properly stack a case of Victoria in a mini fridge' so the bottles wouldn't tumble out if one was removed for consumption! We often sat and chatted hours away, sipping beer and discussing topics from A to Z while he worked away on his computer. The next year I presented him with a 'SIR VEZA' sign which he proudly displayed on his desk in the years since. Over the past almost 2 decades we spent many late afternoons and early evenings with Daniel and friends, tossing frisbees, watching the waves, clouds, and people as the sun slowly set in the west. While waiting for the often elusive 'green flash' as the sun finally disappeared below the horizon, our interesting discussions and debates with people from near and far often lasted into the deep darkness. Then we would gather and return chairs and shot glasses, knowing we would return soon for another sunset together. Your message board and the web cam kept us all informed of the happenings around town, and let us be near even when we were far away. What a wonderful gift you gave us. Alas, it will not be the same again on the beach in La Manzanilla. You will be missed bro. You were always welcoming and good to us, and those around you. On our return in December and on future days, we will gather in front of your place for sunset tequilas and remember all the good times past awhile also dreaming about the great times ahead. Daniel my friend; en paz descanse.

Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! Posted by Ted and Linda on November 1, 2023, 5:01 pm, in reply to "In honor of Daniel’s life! " Three minutes to five your time as I write this. Our shot glasses are at the ready—and full. I’m sure tonight’s celebration of Daniel will be as wonderful as he was. Our condolences to you, Diane, and the rest of your family and to everyone who loved him.

Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! Posted by Ron and Genese on November 1, 2023, 5:35 pm, in reply to "Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! " Raising of the glass with you all. We are on the north coast of California. The shot heard round the world I guess. Thank you for sharing the sunsets with us Daniel, and for sharing your life with us. R.I.P. Brother

Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! Posted by Cheryl & Denise on November 1, 2023, 5:45 pm, in reply to "Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! " We have just toasted Daniel with a shot of tequila on the Sunshine Coast, BC and have a Day-of-the Dead candle burning. We will miss you Daniel, when we arrive in La Manzanilla and you aren't there. Except that you will always be there, on the beach, waiting for the sunset.

Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! Posted by Katherine on November 1, 2023, 6:26 pm, in reply to "Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! " A shot of tequila & a freshly picked bouquet for you dear Daniel..

Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! Posted by Camille Ciancanelli on November 1, 2023, 10:17 pm, in reply to "Re: In honor of Daniel’s life! " Daniel was a great guy. I always felt welcome hanging out with him, watching the sun set or playing frisbee. I’m sad that he has passed and am inspired by his life.
