I was just thinking of Dan again the other day. I think we had something in common.....a love for a good hotdog. Pretty easy to find a good one in Chicago....not so easy in Dayton Ohio. Dan was sure a fun guy to be around...he was just a good guy. Had to believe 5 years have passed but the thought of him still brings back good memories and smiles. He, Maureen and all the kids are in our prayers. God bless.

Very nice man and dentist. Was a great personable person. He will be missed by many. God Bless.

A wonderful dentist, a wonderful man, who my family and I are so fortunate to have received excellent dental care from, for decades. We miss him. A kind and exception person. Thank you, Dr. O'Neill.

I just found out about Dr. O'Neill's passing. He was my dentist beginning in the late 1970s. What a great dentist and person he was! My sincerest sympathies to his family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hi there. So sorry we missed the wake, my daughter Paula and I just found out a couple of days ago that he passed. Dan was my husband's (James Zito) second cousin, who passed away in 1996. He came to the wake along with other family. Lost touch until he became my dentist a few years ago and caught up on family.

Enjoyed his stories and he wasn't a bad dentist either. Paula my daughter had been seeing him for a few years too, saying he was a great dentist and cousin.

I heard that patients were called regarding his death but we were not among them. We definitely would've come and paid our respect. So sorry for your loss, many will miss him, and his family we will even more. God bless!

We were just sick to hear about Dan's passing. We were patients of his for over 30 years. While we have a new dentist, it's just not the same. There will never be another Dr. Dan. Our thoughts & prayers go out to you, Maureen, and your family.
