Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire Pohlman family. Raced with Danny (Doug & Mike) many times over the years, of course they were in the lead and we were in the back of the pack! Great guys and a SUPER family. I know Danny will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Our family would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the Pohlman family. I enjoyed running and racing with Dan. Dan was by far the most athletic guy I knew. I will never forget running the River to River Relay with him. He brought Justin (3 or 4 yrs. old) with him. He would jump out the van, to run his leg of the race, smile and tell Justin, " I'll be right back." He would finish, pick Justin up, smile and say "I told you I would be right back." Justin would hug him and laugh. Dan was a great friend, son, father and husband. It was an honor and a blessing to know him.

My condolences to those that knew and loved Dan. We worked together at UPS many years ago and I have very fond memories of him. My parents recognized the name and told me of his passing. I can still picture him pulling his RX-7 in the building to wash it before going out on Friday nights. I am sure he will be greatly missed.
