My sincere condolences to the family. So many years have passed. I remember the Croken twins who were Dan's father and Uncle Bill. My father Ralph Pooler was their best friend. My memories are visiting the Croken house where Dan lived on one side And Bill lived on the other. Also wonderful memories of the summer cottage on the lake.
