Not sure what to say?

He was the most impactful teacher I ever had and was a dear friend of my late aunt. He had such an influence on me and so many others. He left a mark on this world and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Mr. Chattin.

Thank you for being the kind and wonderful human being that you were.
I am filled with memories.
Words can‘t express what I am feeling right now. You have been one of my closest friends and we became family.
I am proud to call you my kindred spirit, my chosen dad.
You have been my trusted friend as I was yours- thanks for sharing, thanks for believing in me, thanks for showing me your home, that became my home as well.
Our kinship was special and I‘ll miss you...

I'm so sad to hear about Danny's passing. I have always thought of him as an integral fixture at Camp Woodlee and enjoyed the brief times we talked. In my mind, no one narrates square dancing like Danny. His voice is the soundtrack of some of the most fond memories that I have laughing, sweating and dancing with friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Prayers for you and your family!

Linda and family, Danny was an amazing man. He was an encourager, dedicated teacher, husband, strong Christian, avid biker, and friend to many. His bright smile lit up any room in which he entered through the good times and the not so good times. Linda, you loving care made the difference in his life! Prayers and love,

I’ll never forget the lessons you taught us, Mr. Chattin. You encouraged each and every one of your students to do their best and to dig a little deeper in our pursuits of knowledge. You’ll forever be one of my favorite teachers and examples of how a good human being should be. May your spirit live on, sir.

Sorry for your loss Mrs. Chattin. You are in our prayers. R.I.P. MR. Chattin

Heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your loved one. From reading about his life, your uncle was welcomed home to Heaven. Hugs and prayers for the Chattin family.

Condolences and prayers for Linda and family. Mr. Chattin was truly a good and caring man and he impacted my life greatly as a teacher and mentor, and then a friend throughout my life. Mr. Chattin truly invested his life helping others. Mr.& Mrs. Chattin was truly a God loving and caring couple living by example. He will be missed and now he's reaping his rewards from God. God bless you Linda in days to follow. Much love to you.
Always,
Kathy Harris-James
