I was sorry to hear off Dana's passing. My mother Eleanor Sharkey White from So Deerfield watched Dana and David when they were young. Through the years Dana and David would stop to visit her and my father at our home on Sugarloaf Street until their passing. My father Donald served in the United States Navy in the 1950s had a bond with Dana through their mutual service in the Navy. They understood what each had been through. I remember visiting Dana Sr and Eleanor at their home on North Main Street with my mother. My family had a life long friendship with Dana and his family. My condolences to you and Dana's family.
