REVEREND DANIEL WILLIAM WHALEN

I was a classmate with Dan at Ressi. Dan was always smiling. I have just learned of his passing. I watched the video dedicated to his life. He had such a full life. I will keep thoughts of him in my prayers.

I went to grade school with Dan at Resurrection. Even at a young age, although quite, Danny was always up beat and optimistic. He always has a kind word, that impish smile and that genuine twinkle in his eyes. Whenever he would come back to Brookline and I had the chance to talk with him, I always felt uplifted - better. He touched so many people's lives. May God welcome Danny with opened arms and wrap all who will miss him in His tender loving care. God bless.

I lived with Dan for one year in the West Wayne House at Villanova with 8 other friends. Danny was such a great guy....always in a great mood, wonderful laugh and an all around wonderful person. He was liked by everyone.....the Church is so lucky to have had him share his gifts ....I have all of the Whalen family in my prayers....

Father Dan had many lifelong friends from his years at Duquesne, and later in his faith. He added joy, and laughter to every event. He loved his friends, and they loved him very much.

To the Whalen family, my sincere condolences on the death of Dan, it's been awhile since i have seen him. I cannot remember if he was at Eveline's funeral. I don't know if you remember me? My name is Cookie and worked with your sister for a long time.I miss her very much. I have met your whole family, so please tell them how sorry i am. Dan was always so handsome and funny. It seemed like the angels cried all weekend for him. Love Cookie

My condolences to Father Dan's family. Father Dan has a special place in all the hearts of the people of St. Benedict the Abbot. May he rest in peace.

Dear May Anna & Family,
Our deepest sympathy is extended to you & your family for the passing of your loved one. May he rest in peace.

Tim, My condolences and prayers on the occasion of your brother's death. May the father's spirit of love console your family.

My prayers go out to the Whalen family. I worked with Dan a short time at Howard Hanna Real Estate and knew what an extremely special gift Dan was this world. He will be deeply missed by all the lives he touched.
Peace

Deepest sympathy to the family. So sorry to hear of Dan's passing. Dan was a great comfort to our family when he officiated at
my mother's funeral and it was so nice to have someone we grew up with at our time of loss. Donaldson Drive has lost a good
one.

Dear Mary Anna and family,
What a blessing to have Father Dan, and your entire family, to be part of our lives. My prayers are with you. God bless.

Peace with you all.

Father Tim and family, so sorry for your loss. Life on this earth is short, but Father Dan being in heaven with Jesus is for eternity.
We did not know your brother, but we know he devoted his life to the love of God.
Thank you Father Dan.

Father Dan was known as "Uncle Dan" in our family since he was godfather to our daughter, Christina Noel Fagella. I will always remember fondly his great laugh and the positive attitude that he always had. So many good memories of Dan and his family. My most sincere condolences to his family.

I went to a mass Father Dan was presiding over after a very long absence from the church. I could tell how much he enjoyed saying the mass.... . and his homily was inspiring. I left feeling wonderful And it resulted in me rejoining the church. But I hadn't even been a member yet when my father passed away at home. We couldn't reach anyone to come and pray with us.... until I called Father Dan. He was there within 30 minutes and said prayers w the family and friends at the house. You have no idea what that meant to all of us. I will never forget Father Dan and how he has impacted my life. I am thankful that I knew such a wonderful priest and person. My thoughts and prayers to all his family.

Fr. Tim and family, John and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy. How wonderful that Fr. Dan followed God's Will for his life and made such a difference in the lives of his parishioners. We will keep all of you in our prayers. John and Debbie Kallis

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Father Dan. He was a wonderful priest and had wonderful homilies. He will be truly missed. Rest in Peace Father Dan. God Bless.

My family will be praying for the Whalen's. Celebrate his life and service!! The Daiek's.

Condolences from the Association of Jeanne Jugan, Little Sisters of the Poor.

I enjoyed Fr. Dan's 3 point sermons and really missed him when he was no longer able to serve at Holy Spirit Church. He always remained in my thoughts and prayers. What a special and memorable priest he was. Rest in peace, Fr., and thank you for your love and service to our Millvale community.

Father Dan will be truly missed. We had the pleasure of living across the street from Father Dan at Holy Spirit Parish for several years. He was always so friendly and always had a smile on his face. He would always wave and say God Bless when we would see him. Heaven gained an angel on the Feast of All Saints. I know he his now at peace and resting in the arms of our Father.

Deepest Sympathy
