Dan and I served together as instructor pilots in VT-28 at NAS Corpus Christi. That squadron (the Rangers) was the best unit I ever had the pleasure of serving in, and Dan was a fine, contributing member to that Wardroom. An excellent pilot and an even better friend. It was a privilege to have served with him. This news saddens me so. Please accept my deepest condolences on his passing. Godspeed, Dan. Fly Navy!

I served with Dan flying T-34s in Corpus Christi. He was an excellent pilot and an exceptional, exemplary gentleman.
This news is terribly difficult to hear.
I'm better for having known you Dan- thanks for keeping us safe when we flew together.
