I Was Saddened When I Just read the news back Home In Columbus Of Dan's passing .... He Was a Great Man And Was always friendly, Smiling, And Had a sparkle in his Eye...He always Talked to my children years back when they were younger... And Dan Left them always feeling welcome at St. Elizabeths... I Remember how well and great he sang back in the day With The Choir... i Always Looked forward to hearing his voice each week .... May He rest in Eternal Peace in God's Heavenly Kingdom... And May God Comfort and Console all of his Family and Friends And The Lives that he touched ....
