He was a good friend to my brother Mick Handa and came to our house often. He had a good sense of humor and I remember him in that way. Sympathy to his family in this time of sorrow.

We are so sorry about the passing of your father Dayne, especially in the difficult times that we are currently in the midst of. I have so many fond memories of Uncle Dayne, especially when I spent a lot of time around him while I was growing up. He always had his own quirky sense of humor and was certainly an ornery soul which explains his long fulfilling life. Due to my own current health issues and the current pandemic it is unfortunate that we will be unable to attend his services. Myself, Stephanie, and my entire family would like to offer our sincerest condolances to Uncle Daynes entire family during this difficult time. With the greatest of respect, may he rest in peace.
