Personal note from Rick Reicker

It’s with a heavy heart that I’m sharing that Daniel A Reicker, born 01/27/1942 passed at 6:43 am on December 13 in Santa Barbara.

He has been my anchor through the loss of my daughter and a great father, all in. In the past few days since he was admitted, I’ve met so many people who shared stories of his generosity. How he changed their lives. How he saved their lives, how he gave them first or fresh starts, and kept them on their feet through the worst of times. It’s been very humbling and heartfelt and beautiful to hear how much he was loved and how many lives he touched. He declined very rapidly beginning Sunday Dec 07, but died peacefully in his sleep after being visited by his family, siblings, and friends.

Say hi to Lulu up there, dad. And thank you for everything you have been and have done for your family and friends.

We love you. Always in our hearts. ❤️
