Our deepest sympathy for Dan's entire family and closest friends. Dan was a great guy and he was one "funny" guy that made me laugh "hard" every time we were around him. May his soul rest in peace. I hope he meet my Dad in heaven and gives him a laugh or two.

Hey Richard Dazet. Jeanette and I are very sorry for you and your family's loss. We didn't get a chance to know Daniel very well, but if he was like his older brother, and I'm sure he was, then he was a classy guy and will be missed. We are thinking of you and your family. Be strong for Daniel.
