There is so much to say about Dan that only the people who knew him could tell. Dan touched each of us in a different way. He was my friend but more than that I saw the truly nice,
kind, caring, generous, helpful, fair, honest, gentle, and loving man. I will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. Let your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Dan, you will always be my boy and as a son to be. Love you always, Carl Weinheimer

The first time I went to Colorado to attend a Corvette car show Dan suggested I come to Canon City and we could leave from there. He was a true friend from that day forward. Thanks for accepting me as your friend. RIP Dan.
