Our hearts go out to the family and friends grieving the devastating loss of Dan MacIntosh. Dan was one of HM's most dedicated contributors and today, we honor his life with a few words from our founder, Doug Van Pelt:

"I’m so sorry to see Dan go. He is the sweetest guy and has a beautiful and fun soul.

Dan was our most stable rider through the decades. He probably wrote more for us than any other writer — including our staff writers. I always valued his opinion and respected his writing.

I’d like to dedicate this song to him, which I think he’d appreciate. He loves The Choir, he’s very intelligent, and I believe he’s quite sentimental."
