As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
I will remember Dan most for his love of Christmas and the joy he had in giving his special friends gifts. Dan had such nice things I never knew what to get him so he just told me to make him fudge, which I have done for several Christmas'. May peace be with you.

Dan was a valued friend and co-worker for many years. I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing. May God be with you in this time of sorrow.

My husband and I were just talking about Dan a few days ago, wondering how he was. I worked with Dan in the lab for 15 yrs and left about 10 yrs ago, but I always enjoyed hanging out with him and joking around. I just saw the obit in the paper today and am heartbroken to learn of his death and I'm so sorry I didn't know of the service until today. Our thoughts are with his family, it really is a loss to all who knew him...
