To the LaCourse family,

It was sad to read about Dana's passing. I knew Dana from high school and remember him for all our great fun times. A true jock and good guy. I'd run into him every so often and he'd flash his smile and we'd be instantly transported back to our "glory days." Like more than a few of his classmates, he is gone too soon. I will pray for his soul and for his entire family. Hope all your memories are good. Peace to all.

Dear Wendy and Lindsey, Bob, Randy, Deb, Brittney, Vicky, David and Lisa and to all of Dana’s other loving family members and friends—
Dana’s smile, his laughter and humor will be forever remembered in our hearts. We all share so many heart-felt memories and fun times and holiday traditions together when Loretta, Dana and Matthew were there. I’m sure they’re together and up to their same old antics. Hopefully, the image of their smiles and laughter together will ease the pain of our loss. My prayers are with you.
With love, Theresa (Duck) LaCourse <3

Bob, Debbie, Randy and family,
I am so sorry to read of Butchie's passing. I was just talking about him a couple of weeks ago and his great smile and quick wit came immediately to my mind. So many years ago since we were young and in each others' lives that it is especially sad to hear of a dear friend dying after not seeing them for so long. Your family has been hit with so much sorrow that my heart aches for all of you who are left to cherish their memories. I will carry Butchie and his sweet mother, Loretta, always in my heart and memory. Jamie (Drouillard) Lada

To The LaCourse Family,

I met Dana thru mutual Ohio State Fans, Dave and Paula Dandino. Dana definately was a "true" Buckeye Fan in every sense of the word. I send my sincere condolences.
