All of us who were lucky enough to have known Dan, those who came in contact with Dan, and those in Dan's family all are blessed to have known someone who made them better. Grandview will seem lonely without Dan walking by. Dan you are sincerely missed by all of us. God bless your soul.

Dan was such a kind and humble soul in whom there seemed to hide not a trace of guile or ill will. I always enjoyed conversing with him in the hallways of Battelle. My condolences and sympathies go out to his family and many friends. Dan made the world a better place.
