To The Family of Dan Vert,

I worked with Dan at Belt Schools in the early 90's. Dan was a custodian, I was a teacher. We developed a wonderful friendship during that time. I will never forget the coffee and stories we shared on a day to day basis during his employment at the school. My thoughts and prayers go out to Dan's family. God bless.

Sincerely,

Dennis Gerke
Belt, Montana
