My restaurant has been on Division for 50 years and I did business with Dan. Gordons Food Service were lucky to have such a good human being. All the years that Branns worked with Dan not one cross word or argument. Love Dan. Tommy Brann

When I first started at Gordon Food Service 18 years Dan was one of those men who came up, introduced himself and asked about me. He then taught me by word and deed of what it was like to be a Godly businessman and person. He took me to lunch, gave me books to read and simply was my friend. He also challenged me in different areas of my life. I will miss him but just know my life is better because he was in it and invested in me. I continue to do the same as I was taught by Dan.
One of my best memories was the day he retired from GFS. All his children came to take him to lunch with balloons and hugs and singing to him.That told me all I needed to know about the influence this man has made in his part of the world.

What's not to like about the Big Eagle?!

When talking with or thinking of Dan... a big smile immediately comes to my face.

I've always had the utmost respect and admiration for Dan.

We've experienced a life time of laughs, memories and success in the window of life God gave us together.

Love you Dan!

Sad day for Branns Restaurants. Dan meant a lot to us. Working for Gordons he did them proud and he always treated us great and never lost his cool. I remember when we had some lobster at my Wyoming restaurant that was tough and Dan said Gordons could not really do anything on that. It was only a couple of tails and he was right. Now that I think of it more it was probably the way we cooked them. lol I could not even get upset at Dan ever for he was too classy of a person. Thank you Dan for working for Gordons and for being a good part of Branns.
