It is always sad to read about the passing of a love one. But what is sadder is when information is posted that the person was a Vietnam POW. Daniel Remington was never a Vietnam POW.

Diane, For as long as i've known you, you have been a wonderful, loving friend and co-worker. My sincere sympathies go out to you with the loss of your husband Dan. He was a wondreful person. I will always remember and miss when he would come to the hospital and sit to tell us his jokes. My prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, Jill
