Darlene and family, we truely 'enjoyed' the memorial service for Dan today. It was very obvious how much thought and effort you put into the preparation for it. Your shared memories and stories were wonderful and helped us to know this simple, down-to-earth, although complicated man we know as Dan. I was 8 years old when you were married. Over the past 42 years, Dan's effect on my life was that of a helpful and caring big brother. He will always be a part of us and never forgotten. May God give you peace. Love, Rich and Terri

I have lots of good memories from him coming to our farm to me staying with him in Denver for a week. Once when staying with him we went and stayed with Aunt Shirley and Uncle Ted. We got into a water fight with Aunt Shirley and laughed and laughed. What great times we had as kids. Even though I haven't seen much of him in the past 45 years or so, I'm going to miss him and his smile.
