Dan, if I had not had you as my lecture and personal tutor, my life would be incredibly different. I’m not saying it would be bad.  However, you supported me throughout the course.  When I had a question about my dissertation, Dan explained to me in detail and provided me with handouts around my chosen topic area.  This is going the extra mile to me!! .    I have spoken to the past and present student who had you as their lecturer, and we agreed that you have done a fantastic job of being amazing, effective yet supportive throughout.
I wouldn’t have got through biology without you provided us all with loads of handouts and making the lesson relevant, and terms you explained, using real- life example and broke it down until we understood.  This enables us to conquer difficult problems, because we were capable with your encouragement and support. Thank you for your enthusiasm and energy.  We as students respected your authority, yet felt comfortable enough to share ideas and ask questions, as you were very approachable.
When I look back, you are one of the people I need to thank for that. You did not know the difference that you made, but you made a major difference, and I would like to say a big thank you.
Thank you for believing in me, never giving up on me and being supportive throughout my degree. I have learnt so much from you. Thank you for being a remarkable lecturer.
I would like to wish you all the best and lots of love.

Well it seems like a lifetime ago that I was confused about anatomy and physiology and had no clue how I would get through the exams. You were a great tutor and beleived in all your students (I can't imagine how many there have been!) You had so many stories to tell and inventive ways of getting us to remember things and people like you inspire people like me so much. The LD world has been so much better for having you in it, encouraging and coaching people how to become good practitioners and great people. Thanks Dan, have a wonderful celebration of a wonderful career and life.

Your commitment, passion and knowledge inspired us all. You turned biology and some of the most complex topics into an exciting discovery. You always took the extra time to support us and to help us grow. I will never forget our discussions about the profession and science that helped me tremendously in my journey. I am grateful to had you as a guide, and I will benefit from what I've learned the rest of my career. You've given me knowledge and skills for life.

A big thank you Dan for all you help , guidance and support throughout our studies. We will never forget our 3 hours of biology on those cold and dark Monday morning's and popping in life on Mars mid lesson to make sure we were on the ball. I am yet to come across an LD practitioner who doesn't know you. Your wisdom and knowledge will live on through years to come. Thank you so much for helping us to pursue such amazing careers. I am proud to of met and be taught by you. All the best in your long awaited retirement! Charlie❤️

Thank you so much for your wisdom and guidance throughout my 3 years of lectures. Especially thank you for your support with the biology exam!!! I enjoyed your lectures thoroughly and I enjoyed listening to you talk about conspiracy theories regarding aliens, and your own beliefs regarding spirituality. You are certainly an old soul with much wisdom about you. I hope you have a very happy retirement...you deserve it after so many years caring for others, and teaching students how to care for others. Simply thank you Dan! 👍 Becky white 2012 ANSW cohort

It has been such an honour to be taught by you. I am sure many students like myself will miss your down to earth personality and your sense of humour. + will also miss your generous hand-outs of printed power points. You were very approachable and I really enjoyed your lessons. Thank you.

I do feel quite honoured and lucky to have been taught by a genius like you Dan. You are an inspirational and exceptional tutor. One of those great warriors who truly teach not only to make students pass, but also to make students passionate about their learning. I am sure that undying passion you have is contagious because, I was able to pass biology with a very good mark. And for that I will always be thankful. Congratulations Dan... wishing you all the best....
