Dan was my second cousin. When we were kids I spent a lot of time at my Aumt and Uncles (Bill and Blanch Fisher) house. Bill, Dan and I spent time playing ball, swimming in the horse tank at his house and a lot of other things. The last time we were together was Uncle Bill's 90th Birthday. This is really a schock to us. Our condolences go to all of Dan's family.
