Dan was an amazing historian of lighting fixtures. I believe he had the best collection of antique lighting in the country. I spent so much time talking with him and becoming friends with him over many lighting transactions for me and my clients. he is sorely missed.

Thinking of you Dan, on what would have been your Birthday. I still can't go to the beach without remembering the good times we had at Nauset. And I miss you every time I go! And I always feel your presence there...

I am so sad to hear of Dan's passing. I found the shop over 20 years ago, when we bought our beloved little saltbox and Dan became my enthusiastic mentor for lighting fixtures of every kind for the house. I loved his honesty and that exceptionally charming New England trait of not suffering fools gladly. I always looked forward to visiting the shop because I learned something every time - he had an encyclopedic knowledge of where everything came from and would patiently and happily explain, like a proper teacher. This past Spring, we finally had enough money to do a facelift of the part of the kitchen that was not original to the house (and therefore was falling apart) and my husband and I went to see what Dan might have that could hang over the sink. He helped us choose a fixture made in Nebraska in the 30's that is literally the crown jewel of the kitchen.  Rest in peace Dan. You will always be remembered with great affection and with a smile.

I am so sorry to hear about Dan's passing. His memory will live on in my home every time I look at the beautiful lighting he provided to us. I wish you good luck as you continue to curate his collection and run his business.
A grateful customer in Chatham, Jill

My wife Katy and I adored Dan as much as the incredible lighting at the store which we found irresistible. Knowing the story behind each fixture was a treat, but knowing the story behind the man, and that his "kids" will carry on, is a real comfort. Our hearts go out to Deanna and Heather and we will see you again before long at Dan's place!

We are very sorry for your loss. Dan was a customer of ours since 1982. We always referred to him as Dan at Continuum. He would always call his orders in so we always got to talk to him. He was a great man and taught us a few things about lamps. We will miss him. from all of us at WN deSherbinin Products.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Dan's passing. Dan rewired many antique fixtures for me and I always enjoyed chatting with him about antique homes, lighting, etc. He will be greatly missed...

Heather & Deanna I am so sorry to hear about your Dad passing away. I first met him close to 30 years ago at his shop. He was such an interesting man to talk to, that I quickly became both a customer and an occasional picker for him.A visit to Orleans was never complete with a stop in the store to chat with Dan and see what new treasures that he had.I know that he has had some health issues over the last couple of years, but he was a guy that you just thought would live forever. He taught me so much about lighting. I will be forever grateful for his mentorship. Please know that you are in our thoughts. John & Joanne Riordan

The Continuum/Dan (the two were, and always will be, inseparable in my mind) was a regular stop during our summer visits to the Cape. My house and office are adorned with several of Dan's beautiful lamps and many of his fishing decoys. But for me, it was never just about the "things," the personal connection we had with Dan was as important as the goods he sold. His work was a labor of love. A visit to the Continuum was always a treat, even if we left empty-handed. Dan will surely be missed. My deepest condolences to his family and my best wishes to his two daughters as they carry on 'the family biz.' I can't think of anything that would make Dan more happy than to know that his daughters have chosen to continue the unique enterprise that he started. Looking forward to meeting you.

My wife and I bought a cottage in Chatham in 1992. Upon exploring, we discovered Dan and Continuuim. Loving antiques , we proceeded to buy a dining room fixture, a floor lamp, a table lamp and a wall sconce which are all proudly displayed to this day in our home here in La Jolla, CA. Dan was a lot of fun to deal with even after we moved west. So sorry to hear of his passing and deep felt sympathies to his family.

I will miss Dan, we were business associates and friends for over 20 years and shared many a moan over the economy, the state of the world and occasional 'troublesome' customers. His sardonic humor is just one thing that will be sorely missed.

My favorite beach friend - we saw so many awesome sights on the beach together, from whales spouting, to seals, to baby plovers, to rainbow waves! We saw miracles!!! We collected purple shells and sea glass, and enjoyed every minute. And I will always treasure those moments with him. Forever...
