We think about and talk about you often. We all miss you at the ranch!

Thank you for 10 wonderful years spent with you and our family. I'm everything I am because you loved me and our children. I will always love you. RIP

Susan and family - we are deeply sorry for your loss with Dan. Dan was always so positive and brought this certain uplifting feeling when he was in the room.

What a loss. He was such an energetic , fun and smart person. Always full of life and curiosity. Never met a stranger. He will be missed.

But more than professionally, he was a lover of life, and engaged in many thoughts and ideas. Usually starting a chat with "hey, have you ever been to, because we are...). Dan was truly a...

Dan will be missed by me and so many others. He taught me so much about caring for people, the earth, dogs, animals, and ourselves. He was always kind and respectful no matter the circumstances. Having a glass of scotch on the screened porch at PRR, walking the dogs around the plum thicket, working on tractors, hunting and trapping hogs, it was always fun. He was a great man.
