Integrity

The achievement and desire to succeed and be perfect in everything he touched, did not deviate Dan from the straight path. Mostly in sports but not just in sports, Dan zealously maintained his integrity, athleticism and good education from home. He would shout and act when he encountered dishonesty or injustice.

Michael Stark , Dan's coach at Binghamton College: "When Dan played a game it was a war, but he always remained a gentleman in front of his opponents and was a decent athlete. I remember more than once when his opponent made a wrong call Dan would tell him 'why would you do such a thing? . I only read decent readings and I will not lie to you back. That's not the way to play. "He would actually embarrass the opponent who did it and" educate "him to do the right thing.
In the second year we had a meeting with "Colombia" in which No. 1 player who was previously on our team, Ashkai, played. Dan and Ashkai were friends and knew each other from Dan's early visits before he moved in with us.
They almost played the same team together and on the same occasion had to play against each other.
It was the game everyone wanted to see. While Ashkai was really not happy about the task Dan was enthusiastic. Dan won the first set easily and led in the second, then he made a double error in the serve at 40-30. Ashkai did not read Dan's ball outside. Dan insisted that Ashkai take the point and lost the game. It was Dan.

He won the game 1-6, 4-6. "

Dan's integrity was not just expressed on the tennis court or in sports. Dan was honest first and foremost with himself and so he also made the most important decisions of his life. 

Liron Strauss : "As we approached the age of the military, we both realized that our direction was not top 100 in the world. We were aware of our abilities. "He went to a pilot's course, got to a pretty far stage before he was fired and then joined Walnut. We would close three weeks in the army each in his own role and meet regularly on weekends to spend time together."

Brian O'Connor , Dan's friend at Binghamton College: "Almost immediately Dan got the respect of our teammates and became captain. He was the leader and the one who inspired us all. He was the one who set the pace in training and he was the one who set a personal example of work discipline and determination. "One of our team members shortens the long run we did, and ordered him to run again."
