I worked with Dan at GMAC in Joliet, IL in the 80's, he never seemed like a boss, he was the nicest person. Always happy and loving life. Over the years he has crossed my mind many times with the most pleasant of memories from that time durring my career at GMAC. My deepest sympathy to family and close friends in your loss.
