Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal...
Dear Dan and Family,
Sometimes there are simply no words to express what you would like another to hear...always you will be in my heart, prayers and thoughts.
Sincerly,

As a classmate of son Mike in FBI NAC 80-5, my wife and I had the privilege of hosting a dinner for Mr. and Mrs. Fain (and Mike) during a visit to the DC area. He was both humble and gracious, and considered his service to his country a mission happily accepted. He was a true representative of the "greatest generation," and it was an honor to consider him a friend and patriot. Our deepest sympathies to Ginny and the family. Max Fratoddi, 80-5.

Mike & family...In reading Mr. Fain's obituary, I realized he was the example of the 'greatest generation'. He served his country in war and came home and served his country in the FBI. He gave of himself in retirement by volunteering in his community. Mr. Fain, thank you for your service to our country. Linda Crowder, Class 80-5.

To the Fain family, he was such a wonderful family man and I know he completed you as a family. He will be sorely missed. I will never forget the wonderful times in Rocky Point and the chili suppers. May all the memories keep you strong. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
