Today is my birthday, my first one without you and you won’t be here to tease me about getting old. I pray we can see each other again someday, I also pray that I can see you in my dreams so that I can talk to you and you can talk back to me.

Danny, will I ever be the same again? I miss you more each day.

Dan the Man, Hey brother, I miss you. Winter work is not the same without you. This year you turned thirty.

I will always remember you as 'Dan the Man', 'BandAid', 'Section 8', and most importantly--my friend...Gracias por todos los consejos...

To friends and family of Dan Duran.

I did not know Dan on a personal level but I did get to know him pretty good at work. He was a good employee, worked well with others, got the job done, did not complain and worked hard. I think about Dan and Frank and how things lead to that terrible night and I keep faith in God and know Dan is...
