Dan,
In 1976, when I was 20 years old and very unsure of myself, you wrote a beautiful letter of reference that I cherish to this day. You were a good man. Thanks for helping me.

My condolences to Dr. Dallas´ family, in particular to Paul and Rhonda whom I knew in high school. Dr. Dallas was a wonderful man and he helped me work through a tough extended family issue - one time even talking me down from a panic attack by telephone! I really enjoyed talking with Dr Dallas whenever I had the chance to do so, whether professionally or personally. It will always be a fond memory knowing him just for a short period of my life. God bless.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I have fond memories of your dad's sense of humor at family gatherings and playing VERY competitive racket ball games with him. May the Lord bless you and comfort you,
