Not sure what to say?

It´s been a while since I lived. I loved and laughed, cried tears of laughter, pain and joy. But now I silent rest with god, forever at peace, your Danny boy.

In my dotage I pop names into the machine of people I haven't seen in decades, folks who I knew to be good. I attended Thomas More School in Harrisville, N. H. with Dan for a year (1970?). We were both cynical, loved laughing and were likely there, sidelined in the snow, for good reason. I have never and shall never be able to recall Dan without his cheeky smile. I'm jealous he did so well in music. I had no clue.

Rest easy Dan, rest easy. You gave us much. The pain is gone and you are free.

I regrer deeply I am unable to personally express my sadness to the boys on the loss of their brother and I just hope happy memories of growing up together will bring comfort. Barbara C. Bernard

Death ends a life not a relationship.
Safe journey brother.

The day I met Dan I felt like I was merely reconnecting with a long time friend that I had not seen for some time. It was just friends playing...

What I will both remember and miss the most will be the times when we just...
