Dan should be remembered for being one of the most likeable people anyone could know, along with his unquenchable positivity. Eager to help everyone, mostly without being asked no one could hope to have a better friend or to know a kinder person. See you on the other side when I can join you on the trip.

Dan was an intelligent, articulate guy who will be sorely missed. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, & let perpetual light shine upon him, & may his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Dan I will never forget you. You were such a blessing to my life. I am grateful that the Lord thought so much of me that He honored me with your friendship. Thank you for your patience and kindness while you taught me the job. I know that I frazzled you at times,but you always were so kind. You are a true friend and I will miss you. I never got the chance to tell you,but Christian did it! He is going D1 for Volleyball at St. Francis University. I know you would have loved to know that! God bless you my friend....Anna

Dan was a great friend growing up. His sense of humor and happy outlook are fondly remembered. Too bad I usually lost to him @ backgammon. May God rest and keep you my friend!
