Once I remember a co worker slamming down her phone at SSC and yelling "Dan IS the MAN". She had taken another order for SSShoring and it was BIG.

Saddened to read about Dan's passing. Condolences to Gail and family...

That is a great picture of Dan. All who knew Dan enjoyed his jokes and love of life. He was a great friend to many people and will be dearly missed.

Our condolences. Dan touched our lives through soap box derby. He was a great advocate for the race and a true inspiration to the kids involved. Our son went to Lima, OH in 2003. He will be sadly missed.
