Our family had the pleasure of living next door to his Buffalo Family and his sister Ceil. He would come and visit. He was a very caring person. He baptized our grandchildren at Saint Gabriels. He preached wonderful sermons. He is truly one special person

My condolences to Fr. Dan's family. He was my favorite priest of all time. Loved his sermons, he got the message across with love, stories and humor and the occasional shout that would startle, lol. Loved the many stories of his childhood in his Polish family. He was kind and loving Had a fast mass too :) He concelebrated our son's wedding at St. John Lutheran. May he Rest In Peace Will never forget you Father

Met him while attending St. Andrew's. Funny, likeable, and genuinely concerned.
Two Polar Bears were sitting on an iceberg, and one says to the other... "A Radio"! I never got that joke, but Father Dan always made me laugh. God Bless him...

Fr. Dan the community has lost an amazing man and priest! You have been such a good friend to our family; and you always made us young people want to come to church. You definitely possessed what the leaders of this Catholic Diocese do not understand. Thank you for being part of the Mancuso family from St. Andrew´s! We always believed in you! Rest in peace our friend!

So very sorry to hear about Father Dan. He was so ecumenical. He helped plan and attended our January 1974 interfaith Baptist/Catholic marriage ceremony held at Kenmore Baptist Church. He was the most caring, outgoing, and down to earth man of God that we had the pleasure of knowing. “ And He will lift you up angel wings”

I will never forget the kindness, compassion, and love Father Dan showed me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He was a guiding light and filled me with so much hope, strength, faith and peace. May God Bless him always , hold in the palm of his hand and welcome him home.

Sadly FATHER Dan isn´t noticed as FATHER because the Catholic diocese is horrible. Great man ! One of the best priests I have ever known! RIP

My deepest condolences to the Palys family on the passing of Father Dan. I will always remember him as the sweet, caring, thoughtful man that he was. He was also a wonderful teacher, who had a unique way with kids. They all flocked to him to listen to what he had to say. I loved watching his joyful nature, his gentle manner. He was the officiant at my daughter´s First Communion mass. It was a beautiful celebration, and it will always be a special memory. Soar high, Father Dan, with your new wings.
