We salute your veteran. Our condolences for your loss and gratitude for your loved one's service to our country.

What an incredible man who leaves an amazing legacy. I am honored to have met him when visiting with Kathy years ago. My deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved Mr. MacKinnon. May God give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. Love, Julie Swiderski

Dan was a good man. Many years ago he helped my Mother invest her meager savings allowing her to live comfortably. We will always be grateful. Our deepest sympathy to his family at this most difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Dan was a wonderful person and will be missed. Kathy (Nadeau) Martin.

I remember Dan from his days at terry and involvement in Suffield politics … I still have one of his “works of art” made of manufactured turbine products at the Terry plant in Windsor … Rest in peace Dan.
