Prayers to Family and friends. I was blessed to have known Dan through Golf at Bowen Lakes and GLSGA. R.I.P.

From my Heart to our family. Sandy, Eric and Jeff I share your grief as I have shared your joy. We are family through it all. I can´t remember how many State, National and International Skills Olympics that we were together. The many family things we did together. The Love your family and mine shared. Your Spirit lives on in the many students whose life you touched and their teachers also. Well done my friend. Keep a place set for me up there.

Peaceful Reflections

Dear Sandy, Jeff and Eric, we were sad to hear of Dan´s passing. Bob and I will be out of town and unable to attend the funeral and visitation, which we are sorry for. We pray for your strength in the coming months as you adjust to a new way of life. God´s blessings.

Sandy, Jeff and Eric our hearts go out to you and our prayers to Jesus are for you. Dan was an awesome friend to so many and his integrity, hard work and care for so many, an inspiration to all who knew him. God Bless you all as you miss him from this world and look forward to seeing him again in the life to come. We love you!

I met Dan in the early 1980´s as a staff member at National VICA. Not only was Dan a force to ensure Michigan members received opportunity and recognition, he was a nice, caring person. After he retired, he remained a friend to many and managed to keep promoting and supporting SkillsUSA Michigan. Condolences to Sandy, Jeff and Eric and the rest of the Cleveland family. Rest well friend, Shelly Coates

I knew Dan through VICA/ SKILLS USA. Enjoyed working with Dan through out the years. My deepest sympathy to Sandy and family! May he rest in peace!
