Not sure what to say?

I cannot believe it has been 10 years already since Dan left us. Dan was my closest male friend and I cannot understate that. My very best female friend, Donna, had left us a few months earlier due to brain cancer. So, in a matter of a few months, both of my best friends were gone and I still grieve them both. Dan and Donna--you are both in my heart. Pam

I met Dan and Kathie in the 80's when I was involved with the cub scouts. We send our prayers to your family. Dan was always friendly when we'd meet and his passing came way too soon.

Kathie, I remember when we all went skiing together except that Dan and I didn't want to ski ! So he and I went shopping and had a blast! He bought a cowboy hat! I pray for comfort for you and the boys during this very sad time and that your many memories will carry you through. Ellen Cooper

Dear Kathie, I am so sorry for your loss. Steve did not work much with Dan but he and Lorena Hegdal drove all over the back roads of Nome together and he got to know him pretty well then. Steve enjoyed his company.

Dan and Kathie spent many hours as volunteers at the botanical garden, and son Patrick worked with us during the summer. We are all saddened by Dan's passing and send sincere condolences to his family. What a kind, positive, generous man!

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Dan always had a friendly smile for all of us who knew him and worked with him at DOT. He will be greatly missed!

Dear Kathie, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your boys.

I knew Dan at UAF; at that time, he was also smiling, pleasant, and in a good mood. Pretty awesome way to live a life.

Condolences to his friends and family.
