Dan was a very close friend at Aurora College from 1968 and through the mid 1970's. Some time after 1974, both of us lost contact with each other. I had heard that he moved to California and I to Colorado. I am very sad that we never made contact again. He was a great calming influence in my life with his wisdom and kindness. Good bye old friend you are missed.

I knew Dan through Facebook, but we have many mutual friends. He was always an inspiration, posting beautiful photos and often gave words of encouragement and wisdom. Rest in peace, Dan. Know you are loved and missed ❤

I only met Dan recently. By that time, he was dealing with multiple medical problems. In spite of that, he was caring, involved, humorous and appreciative. My condolences to all who loved him.
