Nancy and family,
I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember when he invited me to go on a "field trip" with you and many other kids. We rode in the back of the station wagon! My family didn't have a car - so that was a thrill for me. You and your family are in my thoughts.

To the McDougall Family:
My condolences on the loss of your father. My father, Chuck Mayo, was on the BFD with your dad. I will always remember how much your father helped mine and the many laughs they used to have together. They were frequently the brunt of each other's jokes. I am sure your father is happy to be with his best friend, your mom, again.

My sincerest condolences to the McDougal family. Dan was always doing for others. He was one of my "hero's" on the job. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. The "all out" is in Dan, but you will be remembered forever.
