Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences on Dana’s passing and I was just heartbroken when I learned of it. I had the privilege of working with Dana when he was Parks Director for Moon Township and I was secretary to the Township Manager. I always looked forward to when he came into the Township office and his smile could light up the room. He made everyone feel like he had been their friend forever. He will be remembered in my prayers. Rest in peace.

My condolences to your family. I remember Dana and am sending this for my late husband Greg Smith. Greg hired Dana for the position of Parks and Recreation director at Moon Township. He respected and relied on Dana's knowledge, ability, and leadership in his position at Moon. He became a dear friend with Greg and the Moon Township family. I also remember many jokes were pulled and many golf outings enjoyed between them. Rest in Peace Dana.

My heartfelt condolences to your family. I worked with Dana in Moon Township Parks and Recreation. He was such a wonderful boss, and everyone loved him at the Township. He was always so positive and fun and a joy to work with daily. He always talked about his family, and you could see the love he had for all of you.
God bless him and all of you.
