To the Nystrom Family- I am sorry for your loss. I grew up in close connection with the Nystroms as kids and remember one thing- Everyone was nice and they had a playful spirit and used alot of humor. To his parents whom were wonderful, his wife, and his siblings, while he is resting in peace I am thinking of you during this difficult time. I also remember how unmistakenly close you all were.

I have known Dan for about 15 years. I first met him at Dunlap Towing. Dan needed to take a few days off so he could take his family to Disneyland and needed someone to relieve him. Dan always tried to put family before work. I was Dans boss for about 4 years. Dan could be a little difficult at times but he always came through for you in a pinch. He was always a go to guy both at Dunlap and Olympic Tug and Barge. Dan was one of the finest professional mariners and Tugboat Captains that I have...

Doreen, Melissa & Erica,
We are thinking of you and were sorry to hear of Dan's passing. We are remembering some of the good times we had with your family especially at Blue Lake. One memory is when Dan let Nick drive his boat when he was just a little boy (reminds us of Alan Jackson's song "Drive")and Nick thought he had the word by the tail. Another memory is when he spent countless hours helping Ashley learn to water ski. He never gave up on her and she did finally get up. There...

I just wanted to extend my sincere condolences to all of the family members. I am saddened by the news.
I will always remember "Little Dan the Cannery Man".

Dear Doreen, Melissa and Erica,

In my 40 plus years of dental practice I can say that Dan was definitely one of my favorite patients. He would always have a big smile and a loud "Hello DOC"! I know you will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We lost one of a kind. The world should have more like Dan.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dan through our mutual work in the towing industry. I was shocked and am saddened by his untimely passing. I was really looking forward to seeing Dan in our travels up and down the West Coast as he always had a smile and was genuinely happy to see you. I will miss him, and I know his fellow crewmembers will miss him. We have lost an excellent shipmate way too soon.
