If there was ever a friend's friend, it was Dan. No matter who you were you knew he cared. Everyone was his "pard" and when he said it you knew he meant it; when he put his hand over his heart and looked at you, you knew he meant it. He will be greatly missed by anyone who had the privileged to know him. We love you Dan!!
