Dan,
Although I only had the opportunity of meeting you 3 times and it was within the past few months, I am lucky to have met another angel. It is obvious you were a humble man that left lasting impressions on those you encountered. You will be missed by many. My thoughts are with your family and friends (Bill, if you need anything please let us know)

Dan always had a smile on and a laugh to go with it. As a fellow jeweler, I envied his extraordinary talent. He was good guy and way too young to go. My condolences to Dan's family and friends.

Dan and I were so close for many years, we hardly went anywhere apart. He was an awesome big brother and I will miss him so much. For the short time I had him, we played, laughed and loved like brothers do, and I am so glad to have known such an awesome spirit.

Dan was a friend and my go-to guy. He always had time to teach me how to fix a piece that I was struggling with. Always let me look over his shoulder and show me the tricks he learned over the years. I hope that someday I will be able to repay his generosity by passing the knowledge onto some other jeweller that comes to my door. Dan, I will always think of you and miss you. Big Bird lives....and someday I will show you that a .45/410 is for shooting! My thoughts and prayers to his family.

I knew Dan from his work with us at Samuel's. He was, besides a dedicated jeweler, a wonderful person, friend, and could make you laugh your socks off. He is already very much missed by his friends, and the crew here at Samuel's. We miss you Dan! My prayers go out to Dan's family. Sharon Hallam
