It is both an honor and privilege to pay tribute to Mayor Dan McDonald, a dear friend and mentor. Thanks Dan for all the beautiful memories, beginning with the crazy election nights we spent together, the awesome parties at the Madeira Manor, boating on the Ohio river, and the fun times in Florida. Then there were the more serious times you spent mentoring me and sharing your amazing knowledge of the history of Madeira. You took me under your wing and were always there for me, over several decades; in good and bad times.My fondest memory will always be your generosity in taking my idea for the millennium fountain to the next level, and making it a reality. My deepest personal condolences to your loving family. You will be greatly missed by the many friends you have made, in the city you loved.
