So sorry for your loss, my husband Norm worked with Dane for many years at the Kroger Company. My daughter Linda worked for him when he had the Sylvania store. We exchanged Christmas caards for years, and my friendship card to him was returned. He was a kind and gentle man in every way, and we remember him fondly.
God bless your family.

I met Dane when he became an Archway sales rep and I was a Budweiser sale rep and we just immediately kind of hit it off so to speak.The icebreaker was when I called him The Dane Ranger which was a big part of his ad campaign on local radio for his store in Fair Park.He immediately said that he didn't know anyone was still alive that would remember that radio ad and we both had a great laugh.From then on whenever we would bump into each other I would call him that and we would always get a chuckle out of it.He was a prince of a guy.My condolences to his family.

My deepest condolences to the Greashaber family. I loved playing cards with Dane at the Senior Center. He was such a good player and we always had fun. There was always great conversations about family and sports. He will be dearly missed!
