I met Dan many years ago but kept in touch with him via Ham radio. We had many chats on the 50MHz band. He will be missed by everyone that knew him. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Bob Archambeault K1SF

I met Dan many years ago while going thru the RCIA program and during that time I suffered some back spasms. Any time I ran into him he would always ask "how's your back doing?" He was so kind and thoughtful and always had a great smile. My husband Dave also has fond memories of his brother Knight. He fought a courageous fight. Our heartfelt sympathies to your family.

Dan was a long time Ham radio friend who I talked to on many Saturday nights. He will be missed on the air by many hams radio operators. Sympathy to all the family. 73

I have known "Uncle" Dan for my whole life. I have so many memories of times our families spent together camping, skiing and getting together with the rest of the Ham radio group. So many hours of my childhood listening to the conversations between WA1GET , WA1BXC & WA1ELA in the car on roadtrips long before cellphones were a thing.

Daniel was an instructor when I was a student at Cheney Tech Vocational School, a million years ago. I was pleasantly surprised when he joined The Manchester Power Squadron that I was active in, years later. We spent some enjoyable times discussing boats and Ham Radio. I regret that I never did see his "station" at his home. He was immensely proud of his son who was serving as an astronaut, and he provided some "downlinks" during a flight. Interesting stuff.

Dan Burbank was a dear friend and neighbor of mine for 25 years. He was a the guy that seemed to know everything and was always willing to lend a hand or advice when asked and I asked a lot, especially as a young home owner. I will hold many memories of Dan close to my heart and truly feel blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Joan and the rest of the family. May he rest in peace. Best regards.
