Marcia, Through remembering your Dalmatian, I thought to google your family, and found Dan's obituary. Ed and I are stunned, and wanted you to know that we have always had good memories of the times we lived near each other. We now have our own dog :). Add our family to those that share in your sadness and will be praying for your family. Lora Poucher

To the Family of Dan Koch,
I did not know Dan well. We as parents of GK kids have been in a few meetings etc. over the past few years. However, I found Dan to be a very caring and genuine person. I know he will be missed by the many souls he touched with his kindness.
