Dan and I served together in the Marine Corps. Our visit with Bob Hope in California is a true "Moment to remember " Rip Dan.

I have many fond memories of Dan growing up on the farm together in the care of our grandmother. Fishing for bullheads at the old fishing hole, playing with the Allen boys on the farm and of course just generally getting into trouble are memories I will cherish. Surely Grandma is a saint for having brought us up. But together we were survivers. Love you Bro and you will be dearly missed.
