DANIEL RAY CULBERTSON

We spent many good times together. Marjorie and Dan were the first friends I made after moving to Fort Wayne.

I'm glad I was able to attend Dan's memorial service. I was able to share with some at the meal afterward some of my memories of him. I met him when were were Chaplain Resident's together at Lutheran Hospital in 2008-9. He often arrived early so that he could go to the hospital cafeteria and have a custom omelet made. When I arrived at my desk, he often delivered the half he'd saved and said, "Here's your breakfast". I recognized it finally as Dan's way of taking care of me during a stressful...

When I moved to Ft. Wayne to pastor Bethel UMC, Dan was the first person to greet me. Since I had moved without my family, I was especially delighted to receive his hospitality. Dan was a colleague and friend. Rev. Mona Safley, UMC clergy

Dan and I attended United Theological Seminary at the same time back in the early 80s.. We were Seminary friends and through the years serving churches in the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church. When I moved to Florida to serve in Hospice we got disconnected. Then, maybe about 5 months ago,, discovered he sat in front of my sister and brother-in-law, Marcia and Steve, in worship at St Joe UMC, so we began to reconnect. We discovered that after serving churches in Ohio...

I knew Dan from the Dupont Library Book Club. He was kind. I enjoyed his contributions to the discussions. I am saddened by his passing. God bless you as you mourn him.

It was such a shock whenI heard Dan had passed. I talked to him the day he moved to the Lutheran facility and he sounded really pleased to be going there. He and Margie were a beautiful couple. Dan was such a worker for our first live auction at the Derby United Methodist church. We auctioned coupons for pizza, meals, pies, at nearby major restaurants. All donated when solicited by DAN and church members. He was a wonderful thoughtful and caring Pastor. Sincere sympathy on your loss.

Pastor Dan was always at my chemotherapy treatments and my surgeries at Lutheran Hospital while battling my breast cancer. He always told me jokes, made me laugh, loved being there to pray and eat at the cafe, and had the sweetest warm heart ever. I always looked forward to him stopping by and the chemo nurses did as well. I am not sure what those treatments would have been like without him as everyone who sat around me passed away and it became very sad for me. His big smile could brighten...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

We loved seeing Mr. Culbertson at the Dupont Branch Library. He was always so pleasant and liked to take his time and visit with the staff. He read widely, but every time I see a New Yorker Magazine, I will think of him.
