Dan Menn was a lovely man. He was a man of great faith & deep love for the Lord he served. He was a kind man & very witty. He had a loving heart, & he & his wife, Claudia always took the time to greet you, & exchange a few words, when I'd see them at the 8 am Mass on Sundays. Dan & Claudia were a beautiful couple. They had a deep love for Our Lady, & they loved to come on time to recite the rosary with the congregation before the Masses. Rest in peace, dear friend. Your sufferings are over, & your eternal reward awaits. We will miss your presence in Church, but we will see you again, one sweet day, when the Lord calls us home to be reunited with all our loved ones & our St. Peter's family again. My deepest condolences to Claudia & Dan's family. May the Lord hold you close & give you the comfort & peace that only He can give.

A big man with a big smile and an even bigger heart! Loved being around Dan and Claudia through my childhood years and young adulthood. Saw Dan a few years ago and he was teasing me about one thing or another, with a huge smile on his face and a hug as we parted. RIP Dan and love to his family.
