You may have misread the situation.
I have known him for decades, and I have never seen him take advantage of another person. Not ever. Not even once.
If he said he forgot to bring money, then he probably did.
Let us raise a cup to his name. A kind soul and an inspiration to us all.
- atdrummond 5y agoFor what it’s worth, he had left his wallet elsewhere at a large dinner where a friend ended up paying for the group anyway. They didn’t expect him to pay and yet he paid them back fairly promptly and actually gave a few cents more than he technically owed - which he claimed was interest at the prevailing rate. I certainly don’t see him “hacking” his way to a free dinner on a(n) (un)suspecting victim.
- igetspam 5y agoAgreed. I've eaten and had many drinks with Dan. He was generous. Never cared about throwing a few bucks down to help someone else eat or drink. We often had very large group dinners at conferences and Dan typically threw in a few extra to cover those who weren't as well off. (Standard practice for these things.) Definitely feels like a misread.
- quelsolaar 5y ago> You may have misread the situation. Very true. Either way, I didn't feel taken advantage of. He truly was special, and I'm incredibly happy I got to spend some time with him.
