I'll never forget meeting you and being your friend in 1983. You were a great mechanic and helped me learn a lot and helped my parents with their cars. We had great times with softball, you were the best home plate blocker in Anchorage~!! Our fishing trips were always a fun adventure with all your kids and Lidia would fillet and cook the best damn salmon I ever ate. I am glad I got to share those times and many other great times with you my great friend. Thanks for forgiving my time of weakness. You will always live on in my heart. Happy Trails my Friend, Until we meet again~!!! RIP

Thank you to the family of Dan for being such a great care and support system as he fought his battle! He loved you all so much and was a very good friend to many people, I was very lucky to have met him when I did! He was the best friend you could have ever asked for we had many good times and adventures plus spent lots of hours talking on the phone about silly things and life in general, I wish the best to the Mc Clain family and honor your father highly! Rest in peace my Harley Angle. Love always ROX STAR!
