Dan was a high school friend of my son, Matt. Dan was always so polite and pleasant to have around. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. My heart aches for his family.

Although I only recently met Dan, I consider myself extremely lucky for being given the opportunity. In the very brief time that I knew him, it was obvious to me that Dan was an amazing young man. I could see that he was genuine, kind, caring, and would do anything to help someone in need. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
