All our lives are better because of the Bonfiglis

Dear Dan, Kathy, and Gabby, We want you all to know that Dan has brought happiness and optimism to our lives since we had the good fortune to meet him. Suzanne has especially enjoyed and appreciated Dan's good work during the last several years. She has grown as a person and as a tennis player as aresult of love and attention she received from him on and off the court. As parents, Nancy and I want only the best for our child, and that is what Dan has been and given. We know that Suzanne will continue to carry the seeds of health and maturity he planted, and grow with them as she moves from childhood to adulthood. One can lavish no greater gift on children and their parents. Dan, you are loved and appreciated, and have our best wishes foryourself and your family, always.
Suzanne, Nancy, and Sandy


This message comes from Townsend Gilbert:
I first met Dan as his Tennis Coach At Twin Oaks,a lot of years ago,He played me in my World Record for continuous Tennis 100 hours in 1978. Dan and I have a love of the game and a deeper love of the process of learning . I have shared the stage with Dan in a number of National Presentation on Problem Solving and Guided Discovery styles of teaching,Dan was the expert. Last Sept we had our most recent event a presentation at the National USPTA convention in Fl. in went "Fantastic," I was the presenter and Dan backed me up. Any time things got sticky Dan jumped in, as always, and saved my butt with the Tec part.We (Carol my wife)and I spent a lot of time talking about life and things we all are going to do, to help kids learn, this is what we do best. Dan then did it. All our lives will be better if we take a part of Dan's spirit and put to use everyday. Dan is always going to be with us and he is part of my spirit everyday. I will be up to see him on Sat. best to everyone.
