To all of Dan's family. My name is Marnie and I went to school with Dan in Chester County and was so sad to hear of your loss. He was such a neat individual and I know he must have been an amazing dad and husband to his wife and kids .May God comfort all of you in this time and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I live in Missouri and don't see a lot of people from those days but this truly makes you realize how life changes and how we should do a better job keeping in touch with special people throughout our lives.
GOD'S PEACE!!

Deanna, Lauren and Logan. May God bless you all. Dan was one of the first people who befriended me when i moved to TN 10 yrs ago. He gave me guidance on places to go and not go and answered many questions I had about my new surroundings. I will never forget his kindness and friendship.
