Dan and I were best friends from second grade all through school.We had the chance to get in touch again about 5 years ago. We were very close during those days, and he is and always will be sorely missed. My hearts goes out to his family, and all those who loved him.

I was so sorry to hear about Dan. I knew him after high school. My best friend Tracey and I used to hang out with Dan and a bunch of other guys at the Travel Agency and he would pick us up with another friend and we would go on motorcycle rides! What a genuinely nice man and I know he thought the world of his girls! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

They say there is a reason for death,and that time heal everything,but time will never heal the way we all feel about Dan. Nobody will ever know the heartaches that lies behind our smiles,nor will they ever know how many times we have broken down and cried. all of us want to tell you something,so there will be no doubts ,you're so wonderful to think of, but so hard to live without. We can't bring old days back when we were all together. Our family chain has been broken,but our memories will live forever,so rest in peace little brother and God Bless your soul. Until we meet again
sadly missed by your sister Shirley Snodgrass and Family.

I am so sorry to hear of Dan's passing. It does bring back very fond memories of time spent with Dan and the gang in high school. I can honestly say I know what you are going through, having lost my wife a year ago. Somehow, we seem to get through it and life does go on. My thoughts are with you all.

Dan was an exceptionally good neighbor, always willing to lend a hand. He was also an inspiration as he struggled with his many medical challenges. I greatly enjoyed our talks over the years, although they were not as frequent as I would have liked. I will not forget him.
