My sincere sympathies to the family of Dan MacLeod. I met Dan in the 70s and enjoyed working with him. A professional, warm and fun to be with. He hosted the Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives, which I have coordinated for 30 plus years. He made changes to the organization, putting it on a strong, financial footing that is still being followed. He will be missed

Dear Gwen:

I just heard about Dan's passing today, and wanted to express my deepest sorrow to you and your family. As you know Dan was very important to me during my career at Tri-State. He gave me opportunities that I may never have had without his guidience and trust in me. He was a mentor and friend. My wife and I pray for you and your family during this most difficult time. I hope to talk to you soon, and God Bless.

Dear Aunt Gwen, Chris, Michael and Melissa;

I am so sorry about the passing of Uncle Dan. I never got to really know him very well and that was a shame.

Dear Gwen and family,
Please accept this expression of sympathy from Jim and me. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Jim was associated with Dan at Cajun Electric and always enjoyed their time together. After retirement, we looked forward to the Christmas cards and news of where you were traveling. Again, thinking of you at this time.
Lovingly, Jim and Wanda de Cordova

I worked with Dan for many years when he was with cooperatives and I was working at the Rural Electrification Administration. Dan was an excellent administrator, and helped put one of the cooperative organizations (the Association of Rural Electric Generating Cooperatives)onto a solid financial situation that exists to this day. I have not kept in touch with Dan, but enjoyed our association.
