I don't know Daniel Weinrebdied well. We exchanged a couple private
email, that's all.

If you are interested in contacting people who knew him, you can
follow these links:

http://www.xconomy.com/boston/2012/09/07/dan-weinreb-boston-computer-geek-community-figure-dies-of-cancer/

and check the comments for leads. Oh, the best is probably Daniel's
blog http://danweinreb.org/blog/ . There you'll find many comments
from people who knew him, or his co-workers thru the years. They might
point you to where to find Daniel's publications.
