I regret not getting the opportunity to know Dan better- we recently connected bc he was to write ab our ep where the Simpsons visit Philly, &he reminded me that we had actually crossed paths in HS! His passing is a tremendous loss. I dedicate the episode to him.

Dan McQuade, award-winning writer, tireless community activist, and ‘Philadelphia institution,’ has died at 43
Often irreverent, always inventive, he filed memorable stories about the Wildwood T-shirt scene, Wawa hoagies, the Philly accent, and other cool stuff. His stories sparkled with research and humor.
