DAN: We don’t know why things happen the way that they do, but there must be a reason.

Well I’m thankful that I was able to stay awhile with you before you passed away, and that I did see a different side of you. We talked of your love for your children, for your wife, and of your family, of the regrets that you had, of the lost opportunities you missed out on, of your hopes and dreams, and of the things that you still wanted to do and should have done. I only hope that I was able to offer some consolation that you did a lot, and that you would have done a lot more if you had known your time would be cut short from cancer. You never gave up, and always had ideas to improve your situation.

You were sometimes crazy, and always fun to be around (no, not everyone would paddle a big out of gas outboard boat many miles across a 900 foot deep lake in pitch darkness. And then the next day when we were stranded on the property several miles from the closest occupied proprietorship, with a boat out of gas and another small boat that wouldn't start, and after having tried several futile efforts to get rescued. You got into your small one person Kayak with a 7UP sail, a sandwich and a 6 pack of beer and went around the cove into the gusting wind and windsurfed across the rolling white cap waves on the Bonaparte' Lake and caught the attention of a Canadian fisherman who was on a outboard boat fishing in the opposite direction of you to rescue us. He could have left at any time and not saw you as his boat was 5 times the size of your small Kayak)!

I had offered to go out myself, despite the fact that I couldn't swim, and I offered to wear a life jacket in case I fell into the freezing water with rapid like 5’ white caps in places. But you just looked at me incredulously and said, "Don't be ridiculous, you're not going anywhere!" And you reached in to pull out the beer, and then said UNCOWA (your word play on UNCOLA) and started pushing me out in the Kayak with your foot until you had second thoughts!

Of course you were only joking, and you simply told me to get out of the Kayak and you went out on your own adventure while the rest of us watched on in wonder.

For the entire time that I have known you, you were always unique and one of a kind.

If you were asked to sum up your life I’m sure you’d say, I had my share, I played it fair, and I got my bear. . .

. . .

So there.

ANYWAY...

You’re gone now Dan, but I’ll always have our yesterday’s in my tomorrow’s.

We miss you; JESTER, IBO, JANAT, ROBERTO (your word play on Jesse, Ian, Janet and Robert); goodbye Dano, I’ll see you tomorrow.

Danny- You will always be near to us. Without you I would have never had the life I have. You were such a rock in raising our children. For this I thank you. You will be missed so much. I love you always and will see you again someday. Roma Stout

Danny,

Some have a way of coming into this world with a blast. You didn't. You were sure & steady, spreading mischievous mirth to everyone whose crossed your path. Together as children we discovered Abe Lincoln, the legend. You asked me over and over again, "if it could true?" I remember telling you George Washington might be possible. You said "what's one cherry tree worth? I want to do better than one cherry tree; I want to live the best life and have my family proud." Determined, you insisted your ambition was life effervescent of Abe Lincoln. I would smile back to you Dan and say "Yes, Abe was so many things, and if your determined, I think you can do it. But you know Dan... I'm your sister, so I'll be watching you."

For years we'd have our "Is it George or Abe? one word exchange.

You convinced me Dan.

Today as I spoke with your friends and unfolded the pictures of the times you have had; heard news of your business ventures and ethics; and as I pasted your real pictures for people to see all your varied expressions that you spared no one of your family and friends--yes Dan you lived Abe's page, and so much more.

Dano, you are and always will be a very special friend to me, we shared alot of good times together that I'll never forget. You were able to block-out the negative things in life and accept only the positive ones, you were good at living life to the fullest and with that you attracted so many friends as many of them enjoyed what you had to share with them. I don't think you could have asked for a better life and friends,"you did it right". Friends Forever, W.K. 8/27/04 P.S. LIVE ON BROTHER DANO
