My condolences to all family, and friends of Dan. I hadn’t seen him since high school days. I lived a couple blocks away, and I have memories of music about him- wasn’t he really into Steely Dan back then....? He was a nice guy and had a great smile. Very sorry for your loss.

Prayers for Leeann and his entire family. Knowing Dan and Leeann since Edison, makes this seem even sadder as he was way to young to be taken. My God bring you comfort in your loss

I met Dan when he worked at the Crow in the late eighties and we became good friends. We had many wonderful times together golfing and hanging out with our group of pals. Yes, he did love music and as a matter of fact i attended a small concert with Dan on his birthday June 22nd 1994. That band who he adored was none other than Pink Floyd. And the next year he met Kathy and they were always so gracious to me at numerous cook outs. SHINE ON DAN you well missed.

SO LITTLE TIME

So little time to say the things You'd really like to say~ Before you even find the words, The time just slips away.
So little time to do the things You feel that you must do.
So treasure, like the purest gold, The time GOD's given you.
So little time to dream your dreams, For youth has passed its prime, And all too soon you realize That there's... so little time.
So little time to reach the height To which you're bound to climb, For swiftly pass the waning years, And there's... so little time.
So little time for past regrets, And less, to make amends, Yet GOD can heal the deepest wounds In chosen, cherished friends.
So little time to share GOD's love And beauty here on earth, And know, before HIS endless time, Their meaning and true worth.
Oh, yes, there is so little time To seek the hidden door That opens up to Heaven's Time, Where time's forevermore.

GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND !
You will seriously be missed -
Many good memories and joyful times we spent working together will never be forgotten *REST in Peace*
*KETZ*
