Whenever I'm driving around town or running errands, every time I pass Dunlap UMC, I think of Dan. I was glad to have known him as a coworker at ISP.

I worked as a chaplain at the Indiana State Prison from 2013 until retirement in 2018. I knew Dan from coming into his office to get religious articles for inmates approved by him or his staff first before sending them to the intended recipient.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family at this time of loss. May the assurance of God's Word of new life promise be a source of great comfort for all of you.
