Bay Area sales rep Dan Skaggs died on June 6 after a two-year battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Skaggs was a buyer at Books Inc. in Palo Alto, worked with the Bay Area wholesaler L-S Distributors, became a sales rep for Penguin, and for the last 20 years had been a sales rep with independent commission rep group Wilcher Associates.
He is remembered for his giant and loving heart, his fervor for a good book, and his generosity of spirit toward anyone who came into his orbit.
There will be a memorial for Dan Skaggs at the home he shared with his wife, Jane Siegel, this coming Sunday, June 22, at 1 p.m. at 606 Mariposa Ave., Oakland, Calif. 94610. For information, please contact Hilary Roberts at haphil@comcast.net.
