Mrs. Atton and family,
I too, like Susan will always have great memories of riding my bike to the store and buying ice cream and candy. Dan was such a kind and warm hearted man. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
You and the entire family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To the Atton Family:
Our family lived down from the store on Flajole Rd. I remember taking the snowmobile to the store to get milk, bread and whatever else was needed during the bad snow storms back then. We have fond memories of those days. One of my daughters (Sarah Nelson) lives two miles down past Duel currently. May the Lord be with you during this difficult time to comfort and your memories to sustain a lifetime.
