What a great guy! What a great loss! I worked with Dan at Cinti VA from 1994 to 2002 he was always a hard worker and a fun loving person. "Captain Dan" was respected by patients and fellow employees alike. May God Bless your soul and comfort your family.

I worked with Dan at the VA from 1999 until he retired; we hated to see him go, as he was great to work with. He was intelligent, compassionate and fun! Loved his fellow vets and treated them well. He was a wonderful, caring husband to Joyce and we enjoyed both of them at our OSP parties.
I'm glad I got to see him on 12/24 at Hospice and wish him God speed with all our love. He will be greatly missed and is much loved, still. Lynn Goodwin, LISW-S

Dan was a high school classmate at cch. I fondly remember his ready smile. Many hours studying chemistry and physics. He always wanted to be a pharmacist. I know he was a good one. God speed Danny.

I am still speechless about your passing. I cannot believe I just saw you a few weeks ago. You were a mentor and a friend.
May your soul rest in perfect peace in the arms of the Lord.
To the McGrath Family, May the good Lord who has called your dad home comfort you in the way that only He can during this transition.
