Irene and the Collier family,
I was sorry to hear of Dan's passing. Dan was always a fine gentleman, generous citizen of the community, loving family man, fellow soccer coach and above all a wonderful friend. May you find comfort in the legacy of his life. The Fuller family from Wisconsin sends their thoughts and prayers to the Collier family. Dan loved his family and was indeed proud of each and everyone of you. John
