I lived in Fresno in the early 2000's and trained with Dan for about a year at the Fresno "Y". He was one of the nicest people I have ever met, and he was an awe inspiring lifter. He was extremely patient with me when I was learning, and I thought of him often over the years when i moved away. He will be missed greatly.
I worked with Danny at DiSalvo Trucking for 10 years. The nicest and hardest working man I have ever known. His sense of pride in doing a good job was unrivaled.
Dan Takeuchi is also my father in law. He is and will always be so awesome and humble. We are very grateful to whomever posted this video. We miss dad every day 😢
As a master lifter, Dan has been an inspiration to me since picking up the sport three years ago.
Thanks so much for posting this video!!

this is very very impressive...most people do not understand how hard it is to lift heavy weights at this age..

Awesome.
Awesome! A majority of men fifty or sixty years younger than him would probably hurt themselves even trying to lift this weight!
