Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege of knowing Mr. Bannister and also enjoyed accompanying him while on his several visits to Korea back in the day. After nearly 39 years working for DynCorp, I can tell you he was reason DynCorp was #1 in the field, Bar None. He was highly respected by every employee, mainly because he truly cared for the employees and the mission before the bottom line was counted. My condolences to all who knew him.

My sincere condolences to the family of Mr Bannister. This comes to you very late - I just wanted to share with you: I’m close to retirement and searched the web “Dynalectron pension” and found this - I worked at Dynalectron Norco Div in California - Mr Bannister visited the Norco branch late 1980’s - I was working up in the front office (nobody important- just a clerk) when he asked me what my name was and I told him “Diana, I work in contracts”.

i want to express my condolences to the bannister family on your loss. my late brother, maury epstein, dan's son-in-law, was very fond of dan and held him in the highest regard.

Dan will be greatly missed by so many. We are deeply saddened to hear of his passing and send our condolences to the Bannister family. May God bless and keep you during your time of grief.

I grew up in Northern Virginia's business community looking to Dan as one of a select few "titans." He built more than a company; he built and fought for an industry...and for a state and its people. He gave so much to so many, and I am so proud to have been one touched by him and his many qualities. He stood tall in every way. And he always will so...

Dan,
It is hard to express how much I will miss fun times with you and your family, working on projects,getting advice from you, sharing special times, traveling, water skiing, jet skiing, shopping, looking at houses and partying. I remember when we together stained the chairs, wallpapered, hung pictures, and celebrated special occasions. You were a great conversationalist, inspiring mentor, model leader and warm good friend. I will always remember you. As Flavia said in a card,...

Dan Bannister has been a friend, mentor, client and role model for 27 years. He was an original thinker, and a man of enormous energy and integrity. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of many for whom he has had a positive influence over the years. I am certainly one of those.
Dan Jacobs, Warrenton,Virginia

The entire Northern Virginia business community has lost an inspirational leader and I have lost a great friend and mentor. Dan was 100% class and loved by many. So many of us were so fortunate to be touched by Dan. Sondra, our thoughts are with you.

Sondra and family,
Alan and I are so sad to learn that Dan has lost the battle he has fought so bravely these past years. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
