Not sure what to say?

The twinkle in Dan's eyes will be missed! I have such warm memories growing up; Christmas Eve's spent at the Beecher's house; summer afternoons playing basketball in the driveway; and lots of joking about who actually won and how!!

Molly and I were not very old when Grandma Heniken passed away - Danny and Matt knew how sad we were and how worried we were about Grandma's little wild kitten that she had been setting food out for - Matt and Danny spent hours trying to catch the...

Dan was my "adopted" brother. He always brought humor to our family gatherings over the years. Such a nice guy....we will miss him.

At peace.

I first met Dan when I worked at Ernie's Thriftway. It was evident that he was the class clown. I got to know him with the makeup off and discovered quite a warm, helpful, kind man. He accepted his difficulties with grace and never complained. He became a member of my family for the last 35 years. He even referred to my mother as Adopted Mom. A title she delighted in.

PEACE AT LAST

Dan, fun years at Ernies, playing softball and many phone conversations. I will miss your friendship as you were a great friend.

Dan, my dear friend. You were always there when I needed help, and always ready to play a trick on someone, just grateful when it wasn't me. I agree with Doug and Larry, we had some great times at Ernies, worked hard and played hard. You will be missed!

I worked with Dan in Circuit Court. He had a great sense of humor. I will always remember him wearing a grass hula skirt and OSU colors.

So sorry to hear about the loss of Dan, he was an all around great guy. We played many practical jokes on one another but he was a hard one to top. He had such a great imagination. I have really missed his friendship and great sense of humor these last couple of years. It was never the same after Dan left Washington County. We will never forget our friend Dan.

I had the pleasure of working with Dan for many years at the WC Courthouse, where his combined intelligence and sense of humor made each day very, very "interesting." I wish him peace.
