Daniel, always had a smile on his face. He was positive, funny, encouraging, uplifting and always wanted to help others. He was a great coach, an excellent husband and father and supportive friend, who had his priorities in order. His commitment to HJTEP and everyone involved, showed his passion for tennis. He loved his students and pushed them to be their best daily.
I remember when I started working at HJTEP, many years ago, Daniel and I would hit a couple times a week to get a good workout in on the court. I miss those days. He and Danielle traveled a lot, often to major tournament cities and I would get them tickets for the big matches. I will also miss the times when he and DJ would travel to tournaments and I would meet them when I could. We broke bread together, one Thanksgiving in Chicago and I will cherish that moment. I’ll miss him
