Dear Lynn, Allison and Michael,
I am so sorry to hear of Dan's passing. I think I only met you one time and that was many years ago. I was a teammate of Dan's in College. I know he was a great guy and I'm sure he will be missed more than words can even begin to describe. Please accept our condolences. I'm sure you have many fond memories that will keep Dan alive in your hearts forever.
Sincerely,
Mark and Krisann Miehe

Dear Molter Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. While I never met Dan in person, I did read his book. What a fabulous author! I enjoyed his book 'Call Me Danny' very much, and felt like I actually knew him. He sounded like a wonderful husband and father with a great sense of humor, who passed way too young. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
