Lenore: Just wanted to let you know we are still thinking of you. It's Sunday morning down in sunny Naples, FL, but I woke up this morning thinking of Dan and his cute little grin. What a great sense of humor he had. Hope to see you mid-May when we come through Belfair. Love and hugs and prayers to you and all your family.

Lenore, Dan, Mike and Families,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. When we heard, so many memories came flooding back to us of all the great times we had together. How can we ever forget all those hockey weekends, all the hours spent in cold rinks and the fun we had on our "out of town" trips, with Dan the life of the party. We send our deepest sympathy to all of you. God bless you. We didn't hear about his passing until it was too late to come down for the funeral. Take care. We'll make a donation to Meals on Wheels in his memory. Love to you all and know that you'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter, (and from reading the many messages there has been a lot of laughter). Although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. No words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

Lenore, Danny, Mike, and Families,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Dan was a real hero to me. When I saw his picture, my eyes welled up with tears and then I started laughing. I could hear his big voice telling me what it was I needed to do. Dan was always a man of his word. I'm glad he never told me that the world was coming to an end, because I would have believed what he said. There was never a task too big for Dan. He didn't think about it, he just got it done. Watching him move equipment or listening to him get some truck driver straightened out on the telephone will always be with me. What a great teacher! His acts of kindness and generosity will never be forgotten.

Mrs. Dimon, Danny, Mike and family,
It is with great sadness that I learn about the passing of your Husband and Father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. I always thought of Mr. Dimon ( Danny ) as more than a boss, He was a caring man although his tuff outter skin didn't always show that side of him. I learned a great deal from Danny that has helped me over the years to be successful in the business world. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to all the family.
