Will always remember Uncle Dan smoking his pipe smiling and laughing. He had a great sense of humor.

We are so sorry for your loss. My dad used to talk about how he used to pal around with Dan. They were long time friends before Dan married his sister. I can only imagine the things they were up to! I have fond memories of my Uncle Dan. He has left a fine legacy, including his beautiful family. He will be missed. Our thoughts and Prayers are with all the family. Love, Jon and Kelly Garnett and children

We are saddened by Uncle Dan's passing. As we sat around the table reflecting on our visits to Dan and Nancy's we remembered their hospitality, and the kids, of course remembered their swimming pool. What a great man Dan is; he and Aunt Nancy are having a great time with the family. The Gillert family are in our thoughts and prayers.
All our Love,

Although I had not seen Uncle Dan for quite some time, I will always remember him smoking his pipe, smiling and enjoying the company of friends and family or sitting out by his pool watching kids swim. My prayers to all the family. Sorry we cannot be there, but our hearts are with you.
