Dana (aka Danny) was a special friend known to everyone in Nunda. To know him was to think the world of him. My sister, Patty Anne, & I lived across the street from the school. The boys would come over after games & watch TV. I'm sad to hear of his passing. RIP Danny & condolences to the rest of his family.

Patricia, Virginia Ray and Larry, Carrie and Pete, Pete and Sandy, and the rest of your family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved Dana. He was so kind, fun loving, and lovable, he never met a stranger, he was friend to all. I have so many fond memories of hangin' out with Dana and Pat and the whole family during my time living in Atlanta, so many years ago, but it seems like it was just yesterday. He made an impact on me, and on many other people's lives. May he rest in...

Dana was a loving husband, father, grandfather and father-in-law . He will leave wonderful memories for all who knew and loved him.

Mrs. Pat and Carrie, I am so sorry for your loss. You both were there for Mr. Dana and honored him so well in his final hours. Thank you for trusting us to take care of him. One thing said of him was, "I have never seen anyone face death with such grace and peace." Know you´re being prayed for! Sarah M, RN

Condolences from your hometown of Nunda, NY. Danny, You were such fun during our teen years. As a funeral home director here, you were so gracious to us and as an owner of a floral shop business, as well. We've missed you. "Yet we grieve not as others who have no hope." (I Thess. 4:13) Trusting that you are part of the family of God and we will meet again. Keeping your family and friends in our thoughts and prayers. See you later.

Patricia, I am so sad to hear of Dana's passing. He was such a great guy. Every time I saw him, every event we attended, he always brought the fun. He truly embodied finding joy in the moment. I am holding you close and hoping that you find peace.

I am saddened to learn of Dana´s passing. Although I only met Dana and his family recently, in observing their response to tragedy, the intense love they shared was obvious. Their strength, resiliency and faith were evident in the most difficult of circumstances. May the love they shared and their friends and family carry them through this difficult time. My thoughts will be with them. Sincerely, Dr Anne Baucom

I only met Dana a few times, through his daughter Carrie, but he was a joy to be with and had a great sense of humor. Carrie, to you and all who loved Dana so dearly, my deepest condolences.

So sorry for y´all´s tremendous loss. Dana was a great guy. I worked with Dana and enjoyed playing golf and having a cold beer every now and then when we had time off. Sincerely, Thomas (Tommy) L. Carter
