Just got this word through barbershop connections -- retired longtime Dapper Dan Bruce Brann passed away on March 11 at his home in Virginia Beach at the age of 77. According the Wikipedia entry on the Dappers, Bruce started in 1972 singing at Disneyland, went to Japan to help open Tokyo Disneyland, and then sang at WDW until his retirement in 1997.
RIP Bruce. Enjoy making harmony in that Magic Kingdom in the Sky.

No doubt the Choir Invisible has just added one more voice. Our loss, but Heaven's gain.

I like how the Barbershop Harmony Society shares the passing of any of our members -- a note in our magazine lists them as having transferred to the "Chapter Eternal." :)

Thanks for the info. Being a 28+ year member of the Barbershop Harmony Society and a HUGE Dan's fan, this is sad news. I missed this one on the Harmonet.
