Chris, what an amazing soul you had in your life, a true gift many never receive. The finality of death is the hardest part but your uncles energy absolutely is living on in the universe. Thank you for sharing Uncle Dan with us. Stay strong and sending love.

It sounds like your uncle had a bright and unapologetic spirit to him, which shines through beautifully on the recording. I even appreciated his practical advice on approaching women directly. May I be as self-assured and honest. Rest in peace, Dan.

That abrupt transition on the outro hit me hard in the best possible way.

May he rest in peace…or soar through the heavens learning to fly.

Chris, this episode touched me deeply in many ways. My mother's birthday was February 12th. Coming up on 10 years since she passed. She was my grandmother, and adopted us 5 kids when she was in her 60s. I wish I had been older when she died so that I could've had the relationship with her that you seem to have had with your uncle. There's so many stories she told me that I was too young to recall now. What I wouldn't give to have a recording of her telling her life story, her joys and her sorrows. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't think I'd heard the episode you clipped from but I will definitely be revisiting it now. In particular I loved hearing about his respect and love of women. I relate to his experience of being with younger women and the judgment that brings from some people. I'm 18 years my husband's junior, and he's always treated me as an equal and more. Thank you for sharing this beautiful conversation, and I loved the outro by Pink Floyd. Much love.

Cheers from Western Canada Eh. I am sure Spain is treating you well. My father transitioned on to the next realm a day before your Uncle. I’m looking forward to listening to this one. I’ve enjoyed the times you’ve talked about Dan.
