Dan worked alongside Arvinder and me for many years as the one of the best butchers in town at Warren's Market. He was truly one of the kindest, most caring and genuine people I've ever known. We were fortunate to have Dan as a part of our lives, and we will forever be grateful for his unwavering support. Our children, who are all adults now grew up around Dan, and he was more than just an employee, he became a beloved member of our families. Rest in peace, Dan. You will be deeply missed.
