Daniel John Lizdas Jr.

Hello on this 7th anniversary of Dan's passing. Stephen Backhus here to add a note and photo. What I did not realize in 2014 was that Dan passed on the birthday of my wife - so sad. I hope the attached photo will be of interest to all. We do continue to remember Dan. Most Sincerely, Stephen Backhus Crosby High School 1957.

Dear Lizdas Family,
However it is that God works, for some reason, on this last day of February, 2014, I decided to type Dan's name into the computer. Sadly, I came upon this notice in the Hartford Courant, of Dan's untimely passing.
Dan and I went to Crosby High School in Waterbury together in the mid-1950's. We became friends taking the same Science classes. Dan's parents lived in Middlebury, and I got to visit him there several times. On one occasion, he took me for a ride...

Dear Sue and Family,
I was very sorry to hear about your loss. May God help to ease your grief over time.

It is with heavy heart I write this note. My sincerest and deepest sympathies are with Susan, Doreen,Pam and Dan III and their families. I'll always remember Dan as being my first childhood friend and mentor.He will be sorely missed. I hope to see you all in person at the memorial service. Until then please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.With warmest regards,Alan Barker.

I met Dan at WPI during my senior year and later at Hamilton Standard. Dan was a member of our Space Systems golf team and since he was the type of person who always looked for ways to improve everything he did, came up with the best way to improve his score was to consume up to 6 cans of beer. Dan was also the key person in our neighborhood to get the overhead air traffic reduced. I will miss the long conversations Dan and I had when he stopped by on his daily walks. God bless the Lizdas...

Our hearts are hurting for the Lizdas family. Dan's passing leaves a big hole in the lives of all who knew and loved him. Our deepest sympathy and prayers. May he rest in peace inthe glory of heaven.
