Hard to put into words how deep an impact Dan made on each and every person he met.

It became very clear over the past weekend that he made everyone that knew him a better person, and to that end we are all blessed!

Dan’s family meant EVERYTHING to him and it was a delight to meet so many. Dan’s Concord Work family grieves for his loss. His legacy lives on in resident’s homes that were made more comfortable in an environment better suited to raising their families. Coworkers occupational lives were made infinitely better as well under Dan’s tutelage.

To himself and others he was SO TRUE. He strived to do the right thing at all times. To that end, he lived a WONDERFUL LIFE.

Worked with Dan at Concord Mgmt. for almost 20 years. He was a great supervisor always professional and positive. He was always trying to bring joy wherever he was and we both shared a love for food. So many fond memories RIP from friend.
