So sad to read about Dan's passing. He was my Landmark person for years and I enjoyed many conversations with him about a lot of different things. Maine was our favorite topic as we both love it.
Dan was a wonderful person. My condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace.

I am very sorry for your loss. Dan was a great guy, he never had a bad thing to say about anyone. He always looked forward to his appointment on Thursday because one of the other patients would bring in munchkins & he looked forward to it. I still can not believe he is gone. He definitely will be missed. We had some crazy conversations in the mornings & I'll never forget him. R.I.P. Dan.
