I  am deeply saddened by this news. It is much to my loss that I never
met Daniel or corresponded with him beyond a very few e-mails, but all
of us who use his MusixTeX owe so much to his efforts. Not only did he
create  a  music  typesetting system that easily rivals (or surpasses)
commercial software in output quality, but he also provided one of the
best user manuals I've seen anywhere, and then gave away the whole lot
free  of  charge to all who were willing to take the time to learn the
system. We have lost a generous spirit, a technical master, and a true
music lover.

Daniel will be always missed, and never forgotten.
