We Know he is in heaven now awaiting for us all to join him. May God bless his family and give you all peace, Laura Pike and Daniel James Ehling II

Dear Dad,
One month ago you left us to be with the Lord. It doesn't seem possible that this has happened and why so quickly, only God knows why he chose you to be with him.
We miss you dearly and love you very much!

Thanks Uncle Joe for my Fireworks!

Dear Dad. . .Happy 4th of July!
We had alot of fun times on the 3rd of July, you would take us, Grandma, your neighbors, Ron & Donna, your friends Rayelene & husband and John Kanno. You would take us on the RV to the Modesto Nuts, Stockton Ports & even the Sacramento Baseball games. We had a good dinner in the RV, enjoyed the game then the Fireworks with desserts to follow in the RV with grat laughs. I bet Nathan would have especially loved sitting on Grandpa's lap & enjoyed watching the Fireworks. This year we missed it. But, you were in our hearts when we saw Fireworks and we said "there's Grandpa up there looking at the Fireworks with us."
We love you Dad!

Dan and Elsie Lee were always my favorites in my Mom's family. We always had the best times when they came to visit us in West Virginia and Dan always had a few good "hillbilly" jokes for us.
I spent the second night of my honeymoon on the sofa bed in their living room. I still remember Sharon getting up before anyone else and making her own cereal and watching cartoons.
Dan will always have a special place in my heart. All my love and sympathy to "Elsie" Lee and all of Dan's children, grandchildren, other family and friends. I would love to see all of you.

June 29, 2009

UNCLE DAN,

JUST WANTED TO SAY GOODBYE FOR NOW.
SORRY I COULD NOT BE THERE TO SEE YOU.
I TOLD AUNT LEE I WISH I COULD"VE COME.
ONE THING THAT I REMEMBER MOST AS A KID
WAS WHEN YOU WOULD PUT YOUR FINGERS TOGETHER AND WIGGLE THEM. YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR OWN PERSONAL BELLY DANCER!
THAT ALWAYS CRACKED ME UP AND NOW I
CAN SHOW MY GRANDKIDS! KEEP GOD AND THE ANGELS SMILING LIKE YOU DID FOR ALL OF US.

LOVE YOUR NIECE,

Love your brother and sister-in-law Don and Carole

Dan,
You taught me the meaning of class and grace. For all the bluster, you were always a sincere, caring gentleman.

Your family always came first, and although you liked to act tough when it came to your Leah, we always knew who had the upper hand.

I always enjoyed travelling with you, fishing with you, and falling asleep in your living room watching old movies.

You made my life better. I loved you and will miss you terribly.

Dad, today I turned 46. Per our agreement, you are now only able to 'oogle' women over the age of 50. Historically, your response would include, "Mom qualifies." I'm missing you already. I now understand why the next life becomes more comforting, as I know we will be together again. I Love You, Your Daughter, Sharon

Dan was a true gentleman and loved people, especially his family who he spoke of often. He made us all feel good and when you were around him you knew you were going to smile and laugh. If the love and affection we recieve from others is a sign of wealth there is no doubt Dan died a very rich man.

I met Dan through John Kanno about 10 yrs. ago, When he made sale calls (if that's what you want to call it). He called on our plant for the past 25 plus year. He's always had stories to tell, & made jokes about everything. He was a person everyone enjoyed being around & a person who help in any way he could. He was a good friend & will truly be miss.

I got a call from my mom today saying that Dan had passed. I was good friends during grade school with Dan's son Jeff; and the Ehlings were our neighbors and my good friends. Dan was like a second father to me. He taught me how to fish, water ski, hunt, ride motorcycles, and most of all, how to have fun and enjoy the great outdoors. Stories and laughter are my most fond memories and I only wish I could have visited him in recent years. My deepest condolences and prayers go to Lee, Jeff, Sharon, Ron, and John; all of whom I was close with growing up. Dan will be missed greatly!

Happy B-Day Grandpa!

Dan was one of the best men I have ever met. We became good friends after his weekly calls to my job, in fact we went to lunch every Thursday for the last 27 years and 25 were at the same place. Thursday lunches were always good for a story. It wasn't just work he was a family friend to me. dan was always there to lend a helping hand.

Dan the man you will be missed very much and indeed was loved by many

I'm sure going to miss that dry humor and the anxious look on his face because he just couldn't wait to tell his latest joke. The emails were great too - "It's Always Something..." He was one of the most sincere, genuine people I have met and I am proud to say that he was my friend - who I will dearly miss. He spoke affectionately of his wife and kids and my heart goes out to them for their enormous loss.
