Dan, You were the best "mad hatter"! How proud you were of your daughters and your church and no one could have pulled that off better than you! I will so miss our chats in the morning and on breaks, I will miss arguing with you about Trump, LOL..I already miss your smiling face & jokes, your warmth & compassion to always help others...you are a good man and I am so glad that you passed through my life, I enjoyed every minute of our talks--you were the best "go to guy" you always gave the best advice and guidance. People like you are hard to come by in this world...I know you will be entertaining the angels, if you are not already! Please don't forget to tell them about the leaf blower at work...much laughter.. You and your lovely daughters, wife & family will remain in my thoughts forever..thank you for being my friend!
