Anna & Family -
I had the pleasure of working with Dan for many years. He was a true gentleman and became a friend. His love for his family was so evident - He would literally light up in talking about any of them and how proud he was of all of you. I am very sorry I did not know of this sooner and could have expressed my sympathies in person. May God bless Dan and all of you in the days and weeks to come. My sincerest condolences. May he rest in eternal peace. Kevin & Barbara Coyne & Family
