God Bless you Dan. You were in my class at Blanchet High School, 1970. The card you sent me when my Mother & Sister passed meant the world to me. I will never forget that.

To know Dan was to know what a good man is all about. I didn't know him as well as most, but I know that I wish I had. Pritam, you are part of his legacy and your strength and grace is unmatched and unwavering. Peace and love to you both.

Dan was a pleasure to coach at Blanchet High. His parents and siblings were nice people. I believe Dan had a positive influence on many persons. May God grant him eternal rest and provide divine consolation to all family members!

Dan and I married when we were both 20 years old. It didn't work out, but not because Dan wasn't a good man. He was. Kind, funny, loved life and loved God. A youthful me misses a youthful him. I will continue to miss him. Rest in peace, Dan.
