I knew him as Doc when I worked briefly for BCM security at Pocono Springs. Aside from him being an Eagles fan, we got along quite well and shared some good times at work. He came to my father´s funeral in 2019 and I really appreciated that. My sincerest condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

The man I knew as "Uncle Dan" was always there for his family on holidays and special occasions. This is how I will forever remember him. He will be missed.

Dan, my friend and neighbor who I started fishing with after we got done our third shift jobs. We had some great times fishing on the Delaware River and our two trips to Ontario, Canada. I still remember when you got the job with Pocono, and the time I came up to the racetrack and we took a couple of laps. Later, I knew a great friendship would be ending as we both went in different directions and raised our families.
You my be gone my friend but you will always be my friend and never be forgotten.
