I was sad to learn of Dan's passing in the Cornell College alumni magazine.

We hadn't seen each other since 1967, but I have many good memories of him. Wish we had stayed in touch.

I was shocked when I heard our dear friend, father, lover of the arts and just a great happy and interesting man passed. I offer my deepest sympathy to our loss to the family. God Bless.

We are so sorry to hear about Dan. I know that he will be greatly missed. If we can do anything please let us know. Not many people can say they shared over 40 years with someone that they they loved. That says a lot.
You will be in our prayers.
Mike and Terrillyn Walls and family.
