Dear Gwen, Jane and families, I am so sorry that I couldn't attend the Service for Dan. It is always difficult to know what to say at a time like this, but I want you to know that I admired Dan immensely. He was an amazing man and one of the few people I worked with who ALWAYS had a laugh - and what a great laugh! He was infectious. He was a great broadcaster, a terrific co-worker and mentor, and I am truly saddened by his passing. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you in the months ahead.

Dan was one of the best teachers I ever had and feel very privileged to have known him. He was well-liked by anyone who met him and had a great sense of humour. I am quite saddened to hear of his passing and have his family in my thoughts...

Story shared: Flag raisings in Ayr

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 12:54:14 EDT

Daniel was the force behind many "lunch-bunch" gatherings. One of the more ceremonial ones was raising the flag at the late Phil McCloran's estate in Ayr. Dan would unfurl the flag as I piped it up. After a fine lunch he would get his ukulele out for some tunes on the veranda. Dan and I worked together at Conestoga college for five years. He was always fun to be with and had a genuine concern for the progress of each and every student. Dan liked to eat. To that end he often organized lunch gatherings in different restaurants sometimes out of town for the "lunch-bunch" group. He will be missed indeed. Our condolences to Gwen and family. Dan is in our prayers. Mike and Nancy Du Boulay

I will always remember the first time I met Dan in my interview to become a BRT student at Conestoga College. He made me feel comfortable right away with his jovial personality and his amazing sense of humour. It was an extreme honour to know Dan. Condolences to his family and loved ones. Dan was an inspiration to many students, who loved and admired him. xo Dan. Thanks for the laughs.

Dear Gwen and family, I had the great privilege of meeting Dan at Dr. Edwards office where I have been his Dental Hygienist for the last few years. Seeing his name in my schedule always made my day! His smile, his teasing nature, and of course getting my own personal ukulele performances will not be forgotten. My deepest sympathies to you all at this difficult time. Dan, you will be missed.

My greatest memories of college begin and end with Dan Fisher. I’m deeply saddened by his passing. He was a wonderful person. It was a true honour to have been taught by him then to have the opportunity to work with him. I will miss his wit and the way his eyes would light up when he talked about to his two greatest passions: Gwen and radio. My deepest condolences. Carla Fitzsimmons-Pettitt

It's always sad when good friends leave us, but Dan's passing hits especially hard. I had the pleasure and good fortune to work with Dan now and then over my own 40-odd years in broadcasting, and I can truthfully say he was one of a precious few I met along the way I respected, trusted and, yes, loved. In fact, Dan was one of the finest human beings it was ever my good fortune to know - period. Gwen, the kids and the grandchildren will miss him terribly - but they should know that many, many others - friends and colleagues are also grieving.

My heart goes out to Daniel's family, friends and loved ones at this difficult time. Dan has a place in my fond memories from Conestoga College. The first day of class you could sense the love he had for radio and life. He was so warm hearted, kind and friendly. I am so sorry for your loss. Cheryl Waldick (Jibb)

My condolences to the many people who loved Dan. I will miss his zest for life. He was a very lovable guy and always made me feel part of the family. A wonderful husband, father, and grandfather who was never afraid to show his emotions. God Bless! Love, Kim xox
