Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Too many years and too many stories. I will miss Dana very much. He was more than my boss, he was a great friend. I had the pleasure of working with him in both Canterburys and Abels. We shared a love for animals. I will miss Dana. All my love, Frannie

I will miss one of my dearest friends. Dana was so much more than a friend to me .I worked with him for 34 years. We laughed,cried, played tricks on many.Dana was with me when lost my family at a young age.I feel so lucky that I got the pleasure of knowing such a great gentleman I feel so honored to have him in my life. And he will be with me forever. Thank-you
