This is sad news to hear we lost our "Dandy Dan". He will always be remembered as being one of the best at Allied. His smile radiated and lit up the room when he walked in. We loved having him come into our department. My deepest sympathy to the Davey family.

A real loss. Dan always seem to have a smile for everyone. I loved singing harmony with him at the old Allied AOP sessions, although by the end of the night neither one of us was on key. We didn't care. Dan was one of the good guys.
My deepest sympathy, Donna.
