This is really devastating. I don’t have many words to say. I’m really sorry for his Family and send a lot of love to them.
I am so sorry to hear this. This is devastating news. My most sincere condolences to his family. I will miss him.
I too only knew Daniel through emails but I could tell he was a fine man and a creative genius. I am saddened by his sudden passing and my prayers go out to his family and loved ones.
Very sad news.
I always enjoyed his contributions here and this news feels like losing a family member.
My deepest sympathies to his family and my prayers for him.
Rest in peace, old bear. May you find the most delicate snuffs where youre t now.
Daniel was a class act and a genius when it came to snuff. He treated me very well these past few years and I always enjoy my communications with him. I pray for his family and loved ones.
A horrendous loss to the snuff community
May he RIP.
RIP Chef
Gone but never forgotten.
Very unexpected and sad news. Only ever shared a few PM’s with Daniel but always enjoyed reading his witty and informative posts. He came across as a true gentleman in every respect. A great loss to the community indeed. RIP Sir.
I am sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, I was never able to order any of his snuff. However, reading this site, it is easy to see what a stellar reputation he has.
Wow, this is heavy. As you said, Daniel is a loss for all mankind. Prayers and good vibes heading to his family.
@BenZion Thanks and respect to you for helping his family in the aftermath of such a devastating loss. You’re a good friend. I’m curious if Chef Daniel kept a recipe book in some fashion. I would hate for future snuffers to lose the possibility to experience Old Mill snuffs.
I’m at a complete loss for words. I never met him personally, but we spoke through email and over the phone every few weeks. This is devastating.
R.I.P Chef, such a great man. Very sad loss.
Rest in peace Chef. Condolences to his family. We will all miss you, have we met or not.
What a shame, he always was top notch the few times I spoke with him, and his knowledge will be missed. RIP Chef.
RIP Chef. Words fail me. I raise a glass of 15yr Ben Nevis
I can’t believe it. So sad. We’ll miss you Chef Daniel. RIP. Thanks for keeping us informed @BenZion. I only knew Daniel via emails, but that’s all that was needed to know what kind of guy he is. He once sent me a tin of his beloved discontinued Redcrest, and offered to do so for free, just because he was a nice guy.
Today is a sad day for me, my condolence for his family a his friends
WTF
