Dan was a different type man... Loved a deal on anything but wasn't going to pay over $ 1.00 for anything. We have known Dan for at least 20 years as he came to every sale.
Don't look down from Heaven and laugh to hard at all of us...
We will Miss you Dan...

I've known Dan for at least 10 years and always enjoyed good conversation with him. He was notoriously the first in line at all the estate sales and he could grab what you had your eye on in a flash! He loved buying and selling antiques and had a boat load of them at Antique Maison. In addition, I loved the yard sales he had! Great and unusual stuff that could be repurposed and made beautiful. He and a great eye and he will be missed!
