It's still hard for me to believe that I can't call Dan and talk to him or see him too just talk about who was a better athlete (he was by far) I could never let him win that discussion! Even as I type this, I find it so hard to believe.
I miss you Dan
MD CLASS of 1977 lol lol

I bought a car at Della from Dan. He was very helpful. Dave and I knew him from St Mary´s Academy and my husband Dave would stop and say "Hi" as he walked our dog Casper around the neighborhood. You have our sympathy

So you wanna be a car Salesman? Oh Dan the Fun we had. I was the young guy at Della Honda when you got there. Funny thing is you became one of my best buds at work. We'd spend the slow time sharing stories of sports life or just reliving the high school glory years. To me you were a legend.One thing I´ll never forget is in my lowest moments you all ways had my back! You were a kind funny good old boy! My 30th birthday you were outside of work with a 30 rack. I know how proud you were of your kids and your grandchildren. I will miss you my friend! Thanks for the advice, believing in me, support and always checking in on me. To me you were more than a coworker you were a Dear friend! I will miss the Random stops on your bike or telling me how good my lawn look's or running into you randomly and sharing a beer. Tried not to cry cause ya know Tigers don´t cry! but this one hurt! love ya big man. Rip to the legend
love to all the Lanoir Family

Sending my deepest condolences to Dan´s family, friends, and co-workers. Dan sold my family many cars during his time at Saratoga Honda. He also sold me my very first car when I was 16 which is an experience I´ll never forget. Not only did Dan rush to make sure I could take my new car home before closing, but he also topped it with a big red bow. He made it so special for me and I´ll never forget that.

To Terry and the entire LaNoir family, I had the pleasure of knowing Dan for 40 plus years. We played softball and coached our sons in their early sports experiences. Dan and Billy Roberts were our "go to" auto exports when a new purchase was in order. Dan was always kind, helpful resourceful in all venues. He was so proud of his children and grand children and often shared their growth and experiences. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Terry and his family . Peace and God Bless Dan, Par Cronin
