As the Chairman of the Mechanical Licensing Board for St. Louis County I had the pleasure of working with Dan for several years as he was the County’s representative on our Board. I greatly appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness in our dealings, and I will miss him greatly from both a business and personal standpoint.

My Condolences to the Dreisewerd family. I was Dan's co-worker in the Transportation Department . I sat in a cubicle across from Dan's office for a decade in the old 121 Building in Clayton . Dan and I would talk, Tell family stories, would laugh at each other jokes that we would tell each other. We became Lottery buddies along with others in the Transportation dept. When the jackpot was high enough would say what we would do with the money. I will miss Dan. My thoughts and prayers go out to Dan's Family and Friends. I know he will be greatly missed.

Sherry, Ryan and Greg - my deepest sympathies to you and to Dan’s family. Dan was a good friend starting from our time as partners on our senior design project and through our professional careers. I will miss him a lot.

Sherry, Dave and I are so sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband and father of your boys. Having watched you grow up we were honored to attend your beautiful wedding and later to watch and enjoy your boys growing up into the nice men they are today. Dan was a wonderful husband, father, son and business man judging from our observations and his accolades. You have much to be proud of as well as many lovely memories to cherish. Unfortunately we are unable to be there for the celebration of Dan's life but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love
Dave and Linda Patton ♥

I never met Dan but my wife worked under him. We had been praying he would defeat the cancer, alas, it wasn't in the cards. The Dreisewerd Family is in our prayers and you have our deepest sympathy during this time of sorrow and loss.
