Besides being a classmate in Newport, our dads worked together for Franz Bread there for years. Dan was always a friendly face and will be missed.

I went to school with Dannny also in Newport. I remember his sweet personality. What a wonderful guy he was. Lost track through the years. I work at Providence also and now I will wonder " Did I see him and not recognized him?"" My prayers are with you all for comfort and peace.

Ginger,
I am so sorry that your Dan is gone, but he will live on in your heart, our hearts. He was very dear, mild, meek. What struck me about him most, was his love for you. You are blessed to have shared that kind of love. I am so sorry it ended too soon, but you will always be stronger because of Dan. Love and continued prayers, Suzi

Ah, Dan... Where did you go, my friend? I miss you... I expect a REALLY GOOD tour of wine country in Heaven. :) Thank you for being my friend and mentor. Ginger, he loved you so much - I will never forget him dashing downstairs from work to hop on the back of YOUR motorcycle as you picked him up to go home. He took some good ribbing for that - all in his calm, gentle, stride...
