Not sure what to say?

You will be so missed Dan! You were always one of my favorite clients/friends to work with. Rest in piece Dan!

To Rebecca and to Dan's parents. Our real estate company sold Dan his 30 acres on Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas back in the 1980's. I always enjoyed Dan's dream of possibly building and living on that 30 acres. I have been working with him in that past months attempting to sell the property, and have enjoyed our visits and his enthusiasm very much. I will miss those visits. My prayers go to you guys. May Dan be enjoying a place that is far superior to the dreams he had of Bull Shoals Lake.

I worked with Dan at Com Ed. He was always energetic & full of life. We used to participate in aerobics classes at Chicago Health Club in the 80's. He kept the whole class going with his energy. My condolences to Dan's family, I know he will be missed.

Dan was a special kind of guy. He always had something good to say. We had a lot of laughs over the years at ComEd, I'll miss him.

Dan was a a great guy to work with and a free spirit back in the day ! I will never forget when Dan had orange foam ear plugs in his ears that were connected with an orange cord also. He started dancing around and he told some young kids watching us work that the orange ear plugs were an FM radio. They were in awe and we laughed all day. Peace Brother

So sorry to hear of Dan's passing at such a young age. I too worked with Dan at ComEd, always remembered him as a kind, gentle soul. May he rest in peace forever in the arms of God.

Dan was a fun guy to work with. Sometimes you didn't know how to take this guy. Always upbeat for sure and in terrific shape. I would have wanted him with me if I was in a time of need. My sincere condolences to your family.
