909-706-8539. I'm so sorry my friend Deb. I'm going to miss our times together. Please call me at this number anytime my dear friend.

Pleased to have attended Dan’s memorial service.

We heard about Dan’s loud enthusiasm for so many things and his enthusiastic friendships. I finished Colin Powell’s autobiography not long ago. Colin Powell said enthusiasm was a force multiplier, and force is important in the military.

Dan was a friend multiplier. I know I had more friends because of Dan. We should all take forward Dan’s mission of friendship and enthusiasm. s 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought the good...

Becky and Family: I'm thinking of you and praying for you today. I have many good memories of listening to music in Main Dorm--mostly Springsteen, as I remember. I had the stereo, and every day as it got close to supper time we cranked it up so that the whole place rocked. Since my room was at the end of the hall, we pretended that no one could hear, not even the dean whose office was directly below. And of course the other great memory is making the rounds of the area beaches on the Mass....

I had the pleasure to meet Dan at his parents bible study. Our little group was one of the best times of my life. Dan brought much laughter to our group and I was lucky to have been able to keep in touch with him throughout the years and see his joy with life.
I will be thinking and praying for his family.

What a lovely recount of his amazing life. My condolences to Deb and all who knew and loved him.

I do remember one of my first encounters at Geneva College was Dan and his roommate arguing about who was the greatest bass player of all time.
He was disappointed I went with Stanley Clark.
Glad he is safe with our Lord.

It was a great joy working with Dan. (Vanguard) We had some great times talking at our desks sitting next to each other when not in the classroom. Dan and I would talk about our Christian walk. God has called you home and you will be remembered always. Rest well my brother AJ

I was deeply saddened to hear about Dan’s passing. I had the privilege of working alongside Dan for many years and his kindness, dedication, and warmth left a lasting impression. My heart goes out to the Fanus family during this difficult time. Wishing you strength and comfort in the days ahead."

What a guy. Wow. Many memories of seeing Dan and Debbie on the streets of Phoenixville, always filled to the brim with love and joy. I can imagine how happy Jesus is to see him in glory, laughing, listening to music and Dan beating Jesus’s ear about Philly sports teams. Dan will be so missed until he welcomes us into our heavenly home. May God bless the family with peace in this very difficult time.
