although I did not know Dan personally I had the pleasure of meeting him twice as he would come to my work to take his sister Nancy to lunch on a regular basis. Nancy is a very close friend of mine and my heart breaks for her, her husband Pat and the entire family. I pray that they can all find peace and comfort in the days ahead. Cherish every memory you shared with Dan, we never know when our time is done here on this earth. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers. RIP Dan you are surely missed by many.

There are no words to express the shock and sadness that this loss brings me. Dan was not only a good engineer and consultant, but close friend and conumate great guy.
Having known Dan for many years, working with him and colaborating on several technical papers and presentations, I came to know the man as well as the proffesional. He was always colm and collected, low key in tough situations and dedicated to the training and mentoring of those he worked with.
He was admired by many and will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family.
