My heart is so heavy for you Sara & your entire family. I loved Dan. He always had a smile that lit up his face & took time to chat & share stories of your travels and life in general when we ran into each other.
It was a privilege to have you both as my next door neighbors.
You are in my thoughts & prayers.

My condolences to the Zuniga family. I had the pleasure of working for Dan in the late 70's/early 80's when we both worked in what was then the MIS Department. A lot of good times, a lot of laughs, and a very productive team (remember Ed Ahearn and Jerry Cline, his cohorts in crime?) He always spoke fondly of his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
