Dan was my former father-in-law & has always been, even in recent years, exceptionally kind, caring & thoughtful towards me.
My prayers are with the whole family.
Elaine (or Lois, as Dan said he would always call me regardless of the fact that I changed my name to Elaine) For him & only him, I said that was ok.

I first met Dan 12 years ago when I started working in the Pro Shop. I admired him for his friendly demeanor, kind soul and beautiful golf swing. Our former Club Champion will be missed by all. Heaven is getting a ringer.
