He is missed and remembered. I remember how happy he was driving his standardbreds and caring for them. He had many talents for friendship, laughter, caring and is sorely missed in this world. I wish I could have told him Goodbye. I will never forget how much fun we had when we were young and wish I could have told him how much i appreciated him.
Dan I will pray that your soul rest in peace, thank you for your frienship.
