Worked with Dan at Butler and Butler, one of the nicest people I ever met, accomplished at every construction skill, and never hesitated to help another.

So sorry I missed seeing this and attending his visitation. He was a great friend of my late husband Daves and a neighbor of mine at Golden Lake for several years. His wife Nancy was also a good friend. My sincere condolences to his family!
