We had some great times together. So many good times with you and Dusty but we lost track of each other in the mid 1980's. I've thought of you often and just found out that you passed away in 2011. Sorry we couldn't have stayed in touch over the years. You were a big brother to me and I loved riding your bike when you let me. Until we meet again my brother

Dana, You are the best & will be missed by all. You have a heart of 'gold', so caring and a great teacher to those you work with both friends and family. So hard for us to think you will not be around to share LIFE, LOVE & LAUGHTER. You have touched our hearts and will missed you so greatly. You passed on to the other life on Good Friday, the day we commemorate Jesus Christ death. Oh DANA! Our condolences and prayer to your family. In our heart you will remained a 'Legend'. Zita, Carlos & Jose.

I was placed in charge of keeping Dana awake and talking after a bell-ringing removed him from a football game at memorial stadium. One moment he was in math class...the next he was singing aloud...kept getting up and putting on his helmet, like he was going back in the game...very funny, entertaining and sweet....like the man himself. thanks Dana. Thinking about you today, old man.

Goodbye, Dana! Thoughts of you take me back to ninth grade at Einstein when I had a huge crush on you. I can still picture you on "greaser day"! Rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

We had so much fun! I didn't know him well in the past years, but remember him with only happy, funny memories! God bless you and keep you safe Dana. You are in a better place. Love Sheila

Seems like yesterday when we were in elementary school together, Dana. Was jogging by where your family used to live recently and was thinking of you. Rest in Peace. I wish your family the best.

Sincerely,
