> W2NDP (ex WA2NDP), Daniel Manfre, became a Silent Key just after 8PM
> last night (0000Z today).  Dan was a serious DXer for many years with
> 314 countries confirmed mixed mode and was chasing DX on CW, SSB and
> RTTY.  He was a founding member and President of the Mid-Florida DX
> Association (http://www.w4fdx.com/).  Dan was a DX Elmer to many in
> the Tampa, FL area.  He gave of his time in other ways being a DXCC
> Card checker and ARRL Volunteer Examiner.  Dan was a member of STARC
> (W4HSO) in Hillsborough County, LIDXA, South Florida DX Association,
> QCWA and FISTS.  DXers around the world will no doubt be missing their
> friend Dan!  Dan is survived by his XYL Ellen and children.

> On a personal note I am going to be one who will miss him.  Dan was a
> long time supporter of The Daily DX and would call the office often.
> Sometimes asking DX questions or passing on DX news.  We never had the
> opportunity to meet in person; however we always had good ragchews on
> the phone about DXing, Radio and family.  Dan reminded me of the
> "QRPer" in the stories told by the late WA6AUD, DX Professor Hugh
> Cassidy.  Dan was constantly asking questions about DX and I think
> that was what I liked most about him.  He wanted to know everything
> about DX and DXing and always stood proud when those QSL cards came
> in.  I'm going to miss those fun phone calls and great questions Dan.
