Talented journalist Dan will always be remembered

I WAS deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing away of Dan Lucas – one of the most gifted, well respected, much-loved writers and a passionate, knowledgeable and fiercely intelligent sports journalist. (TCP, March 17).

His untimely and tragic demise continues to send shocking waves around those who knew him both in the DiS community and elsewhere.

He kept trying and kept trying, his passion linking his two loves of sport and music and a chance to air his own brilliant unique sense of humour.

Dan was a talented journalist and a much-liked presence around the office with his encyclopedic knowledge of sport.

Dan Lucas is not with us, but he has touched and influenced so many people in the world which will be remembered for ever. VINOD C. DIXIT,
