The Daniels were our next door neighbors for over 20 years. Mr. Daniel always wore a
smile and had time to chat with us across our fence. I had a chance to interview him for a
school assignment and learned of his WWII experiences. He was one of the nicest people
you could meet!
Keeping Mrs. Daniel and the family in our thoughts.

Marcia and family,
While neighbors on Seven Mile Lane your presence was a special part of our young
family's life. You welcomed us as a young married couple and encouraged us as our
family grew. You and Ries were incredible role-models of kindness and community
involvement, not to mention the Home and Gardens example you set for all.
May you and the family find comfort in the memories,
Andrea Lavine

To Reis" family,
I knew Reis as a Big Brother to David. Many years have passed and it is notable that Reis
was a major part of David's life. However in the occasions when I would see Reis he was
beaming about David and what he meant in his (Reis") life. It was a privilege to know this
gentle man and this gentleman. Truly a representative of The Greatest Generation. May
you be comforted with the beautiful memories you have of this special man.
Fondly, Dovey Kahn

Ries was such a sweet man, and he was always smiling.
I remember once, when I was little, I accidentally called him my grandpa. It made him so
happy, and he couldn't stop smiling. He was a very happy man who lived a very happy
life, brightening the lives of those around him.
He was always a wonderful father figure to my own dad. I hope Ries knew how much he
means to my family.

The Daniels were our neighbors as long as I can remember. Mr. Daniel was the kindest,
gentlest person I ever knew. He was almost preternaturally becalmed, peaceful and
happy. I remember his kind consolation over a problem in 1990, and I had the the same
opportunity to interview him for the school assignment, and was surprised to learn he
was in WWII, which I was studying at the time. I miss him.

The Daniels were our neighbors on Seven Mile Lane for almost 40 years. I remember
being so warmly welcomed by the Daniels in 1972. Mr. Daniel was the friendliest and
kindest person I have known. I will always remember his love for his dogs and ours! Mr.
Daniel always had time to talk and share a smile.

Many years ago I delivered Ries his Baltimore Sun. I recall the times I would stop to say
hello. Ries would always have a smile on his face and kind words for me. I would
comment on those giant azaleas on the front lawn, as I was always jealous how beautiful
they were. He shared that he had a brother named Daniel Daniel. He would laugh and
shake his head about the name. Although it has been many years ago from 7 Mile, I
always recall those special people that touched my life!
