Dan...

I was notified this morning by his sister, Sylvia, that Dan Harbaugh passed away Thursday night...She said he had a heart attack Wednesday, and was due to be released from the hospital back to hospice care, but never made it home...I've got Heidi's cell phone number and will attempt contact to see if there's any way I can help...Dan was 90 for those who didn't know...I'll update with any details as I hear them...

I miss you already, Dan...R.I.P......Ben

I always enjoyed Dan's post. He was a neat guy.

From reading his MANY posts. He did not just exist, he LIVED a full and rewarding life.

He did that for sure, and definitely went his own way...For those who don't know, I was Dan's editor and proofreader for many, but not all of his books...In the past few years his vision had deteriorated to the point where I don't think he could read my corrections anymore, so they went to print as is...I'm proud to have many of his books in their various versions on a bookshelf...

He was a unique individual......Ben

RIP Dan.

I just talked to Dan's daughter, Heidi, who says they are adjusting to the loss...From my own recent experience I know how unusual it is to suddenly not have to do the many things we might have become accustomed to, such as bringing the morning coffee or adjusting bed pillows or just making sure a person isn't lonely during the day...

Knowing Dan was never the hearts-and-flowers type, I asked Heidi if there was a charity to which those interested might make a donation...She said Dan liked the SPCA since they were responsible for some of the rescue dogs that filled his home...I'll make a donation here to the local animal shelter since I know they are always hard pressed for funds......Ben
