Daniel Hansman

April 8, 1935 — May 10, 2024

Rancho Mirage, CA

Daniel Hansman, known affectionately as Danny or Dukey, was a man of many talents and passions. His life, which began on April 8, 1935, in Jamaica, NY, and concluded on May 10, 2024, in Rancho Mirage, CA, was filled with remarkable achievements and profound connections.

A graduate of Columbia University School of Pharmacy, and a pharmacist by trade, Daniel's entrepreneurial spirit led him to explore various avenues in life. Alongside his successful career as a pharmacist and entrepreneur, along with his husband Marcel, he delved into the world of art collecting with great enthusiasm. His keen eye for beauty and detail made him a respected figure in the art community.

Described by many as kind, honorable, loyal, knowledgeable, and insightful, Daniel will always be remembered for his unwavering generosity and dependability. He had a great sense of humor and a contagious laugh that resonated with all who knew him.

In addition to his professional endeavors and interests in art, Daniel found joy in simple pleasures. He found solace in paintings, museums, shows, good food, and classical music. His passion for writing not only reflected his creativity but also allowed him to express his innermost thoughts with eloquence.

Among his proudest accomplishments was being a self-made man who carved his path through hard work and dedication. Daniel's legacy will live on through the memories he created and the lives he touched.

Daniel is survived by his loving husband and partner Marcel Hang Vinh for 50 years; his brother Norman Hansman; his sister Francine Yagoda; his nieces Michelle Whiteman and Melissa Yagoda; his nephews Andrew Yagoda and William Yagoda; as well as five great nephews and two great nieces.

As we mourn the passing of Daniel Hansman from this world, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life marked by integrity, passion, and an unwavering commitment to those he held dear. May his memory continue to inspire us all to live with kindness and grace.
