Not sure what to say?

Dana's parents, Allen and Dorothy, were high school friends with my parents, John and Cathie Guiou. I have known Dana since we were toddlers. We have stayed in touch intermittently over the years, becoming more acquainted through the fellowship of recovery. He did so much, for so many. An example, of service and unselfishness.

He will be missed! I had the pleasure of working and growing with him. Blessed to have him as a mentor and friend!

I have known Dana for as long as I have been married to his brother, Ralph. Obviously, I don’t have childhood memories of Dana but I do have some great stories! I have always admired Dana’s love for life. He was always heading out for some new adventure and he always had lots of great stories to tell. A bit of a gift to gab, but that runs in the family! Dana and I always found time to laugh and poke fun at each other. He touched many different people in countless ways. Seven years ago,...

I was honored to be friends with Dana in high school and several years after. He and I were best friends all through high school and we were inseparable. We were never without laughter, riding around in his Carmen Geer and tooting that funny barooga horn.

Going to the Traffic Concert at the Boston Garden and sneaking in because we didn't have enough money. Traffic was one of our...

A life well lived and gone too soon. Dana was not only my Nephew but also my God Son. I last spent time with him in Florida but often enough. He will be missed.

I was lucky enough to count Dana as a great friend during our college days.
His enthusiasm, contagious laugh, and kindness made it impossible to have a tough day if he was there. I recall a few days going for a drive in a little convertible “to look at the sky and see some green”.
All I can recall is laughing the afternoon away.
A true gift to all he met.

To my father-in-law, amazing grandfather to my children and friend of 26 years, I'll miss our time together. Your kindness, humor and humility are characteristics that I'll continue to instill in my children on your behalf. Your expertise in a variety of subjects was incredibly granular and helped me on countless undertakings. Your ability to tell a story of your adventures was legendary and I'll try my best to to be sure your grandchildren know all about how you conducted yourself and...
