Bill, I was deeply saddened with Dana's passing. We went to school together all thru grade and High School, but didn't keep in touch much. He was a great support when I had cancer in my 30's, I greatly respected and admired him, and so glad he is part of your life, what a great man! My partner Harold and I wish you all the best, countless memories will always be your comfort..

Bill, I only met you last year, when I ran into you and Dana at Von Maur. I'm so glad I got to put a face to Dana's best friend in the world. Dana was one of the sweetest people I've ever met in my life. We love him here at ISMA and we miss him so much.
