So sorry to read of Dan's death. I met and became a fast friend of Dan while at NNMC Bethesda. He was a great guy. Friendly, great smile and humor, always cheerful and helpful. Every time I saw Dan in our offices on the 7th floor it was a pleasure. He was so knowledgeable of his trade and always wanted to help and make things right. Everyone enjoyed Dan each and every time we got so see and chat with him. He was truly a wonderful person. A man who will be missed. My prayers go out to the family and I will always remember and pray for Dan. It was an honor to call him a friend. A great guy.
