Cristina Danielein a post some time ago, had shared a tender memory of his father on Father's Day:
“To my father, who despite all life's difficulties and health problems never stopped fighting and chasing his dreams. I am grateful for all the moments we spent together and for the values he passed on to me. One day he made a phone call to me, I was in Formia with my mother and he said to me: 'Remember that I am always your father and even if you are grown up I always know everything and I worry about you.' It meant that with his instinct he felt if there was something wrong and that he would always be close to me.
My thoughts go to him and to all the dads in the afterlife. They haven't gone away at all, they are present in another form and we are gradually learning to understand their messages. […]“

Also Vasco Rossi wanted to remember him with a testimony taken from the book With Pino ten years later:
“Actually, if I think about it, Pino and I have a lot in common. We are both musically rebels, children of the seventies who belonged to committed singer-songwriters. We were the new in the music scene, those of the turning point with the past. The word singer-songwriter wasn't enough for us.
We had our work cut out for us: me making rock credible in Italian and him revolutionizing Neapolitan musical translation by contaminating it with jazz and above all with blues, also claiming the fact of having been the first. I don't remember the year we met in person. Pino has always been there for me. What does time matter? When I first met him it was as if we had known him forever. A mutual feeling. We recognized each other instantly.”
Clementine wrote:
“Hello teacher! Even though ten years have passed, it seems like yesterday. Don't forget, there's always a little left. Pino Daniele forever!”
