From ICG -
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of long-time Camera Operator and National Executive Board member Dan Kneece. Dan was a member of Local 600 for over 30 years, serving on the NEB since 2010.
I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Ted Churchill Desert Center class of December 1988. Dan, along with Mark O’ Kane, Chris Squires, and Guy Bee (to name a few) were on hand and couldn’t have been nicer to a group of people looking to perfect their Steadicam skills. Dan was patient, helpful and friendly.
Though we never worked together professionally, Dan always remembered me when I would reach out to say hi or bump into him at Cine Gear. just as nice then as when I first met him. I will miss him and always remember his big, beautiful smile and happy soul.
Goodbye friend. You were an original.
