Our hearts go out to the family. It was because of Dan moving to Indiana that I was able to meet one of my dearest friends. Jen you are in our prayers. God bless.

Although I had not seen Danny in years, I grew up with him and the Bishops on the Northside by Bunn School. He was three years younger than me but we played together at Bunn Schoolyard. I always thought he was a cute boy!

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Oh my what a loss for the people he has left behind. I have not known Dan for very long but was like a brother to me and a great friend. All the nights we all spent together watching all the crazy TV programs and the movies. I still find it hard to belive that he is not with us and I know that he is looking down at all of us and smilling. Bruce remember I'm here for you and all my prayers go out to you and Dan's family.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Dan in the Springfield office. Even after he moved on to Indiana and then Tampa, we spoke often. Dan always brought a smile to my face. I feel blessed to have known him.

Dan the Man, I will miss you!

Aunt Sandy & Uncle Bill - I can not begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know that God will wrap His loving arms around you and provide you with the peace and comfort that you need at this time. I know that words can not ease the pain you must be feeling, but I hope that knowing that you are not alone helps to fill the empty feeling that Danny's passing has left in your hearts. I am sorry that I can not be there personally to help you honor Danny and his life, but I am there in spirit and send you my love. God Bless you both!!
