Robert Dan Overly

You opened the world for me and your influence lives .

Dan-O, I can still picture you in your lovely garden and I hope that is where you are today. Until we meet again, peace to you my friend.

Danny, my friend, you'll forever live in my heart as my 5 year old playmate on Prospect Avenue.

Everyone close to Dan has heard him refer to someone with the words "he's a prince", when we all know it was Dan who was the prince.
We met Dan through David Spurk, his surrogate son. I've called David countless times through the years after some hysterically funny conversation with Dan, to thank him for bringing Dan into our lives.
A few nights ago, as I sat watching the full moon come up, the moon beams were shining on the leaves of a cleyera just outside the window and it...

I will forever miss,you, my brother; your memory and friendship will never die. I know you are at peace somewhere in the cosmos.

From "It's a wonderful life".
Clarence: Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
And,
Clarence: [In book inscription] Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends.
Danny has left an awful hole and was a very successful man.
It has been many years , but I remember Danny as a friend. I, like so many others, will not forget him.

I too remember Dan fondly from our long ago high school days, ... played in his shadow ... always seemed like a gentle guy to this underclassman, and remember his quick laugh in those days ... peace
