Dan was almost a lifetime friend, dating back to Cathedral Grade School. Our friendship included playing football, basketball with pickup games at the old athletic club. Dan was host to many visits at Lake Wawasee for swiming and boating. Dan was at the top of Good Guys ...We will miss him Joan and Bob Waltke
