Dan has shown us the act of kindness and love to my famliy and myself. Dan would give the shrit off his back for anyone. Open the doors to his home and to his heart. Now our Lord has called one more of his Angel to stand next to him, leaving us with sadness. Metting Dan and Bunny has been a ture blessing and a life long gift that we have been blessed with and never forgotten.
With love always,
Lupe, Jose, Liliana, Emily and David. Fam. Becerril

Not sure where my original entry went... anyhow... There is SO much I could say; you were always there when we needed you, always supported us and I am deeply saddened by the things you won't be here for. (Future weddings, great-grand kids and more...No doubt that when the time comes Grams will spoil them enough for the two of you.) Love you and miss you Pop. You were the best and there will never be another to take your place. Keep watching from heaven okay?

When I began to work at PC with the Maintenance Dept., it was a challange at times being a women. Dan was always kind to me as a co-worker. Living a few houses down, my husband enjoyed stopping to chat and spending a few evenings in the 'shop'. I will miss the wave you gave me as we were both out front washing our vehicles. I will miss the times you saw us out front working and you would bring us a 'beverage'. Thank you for your friendship. You will be missed. I will always look for your wave...Love always, Lynda Faust-Knott
