Daniel G. Hess

Mr. Hess was such an important and positive influence on my life. He was an excellent wood worker and a patient teacher, but his greatest gift was his caring guidance and life lessons he shared with many young men and women. I am so thankful to have known him will carry my fond memories of Mr. Hess with me for the rest of my days. ~ Andrew Palmer

Mrs. Hess, Keith and Craig,
I was sorry to hear of your loss from my mom (Gloria). I wish you peace and comfort in the days that follow.

In sympathy,

Condolences to you, Carla, Keith, Craig and families. Dan and I worked side by side for 10 years at Parkland High. He was always looking for a good joke or a jab from buddies. He ALWAYS had the welfare of his students front and center, and was notorious for reaching out to those in need....student or teacher. I will always remember him as one whose moral compass guided his decisions without wavering. Thank you Dan, for the great years and the guidance you gave me as a "new teacher." ...

Dan and I were classmates at Tamaqua junior and senior high schools (and neighbors in Hometown). I was something of a nerd in junior high, often teased and sometimes bullied. I met Dan for the first time when some other students were making fun of me and itching to fight. Dan intervened and put a stop to it in short order. I was amazed that this tall athlete took an interest in my welfare. From that point on, we were fast friends through the remainder of our school years. I've never...

Carla and family - We have many fond memories of Dan at Parkland. We will remember him always. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Sincerely, Chrysa and Bill Collins

So sorry to hear the passing of your husband, Dan. Please be assured that you and your family are in our prayers. Jay & Cindy Musselman

Carla - It is with great sadness that I read of Dan's passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this most difficult time. May you find peace knowing he is home with our Lord. My love and sympathies. - Pam Haas
