Delene, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. You know Dan was one of my favorite customers and I am so sad. I will miss him dearly. No more birthday flowers and happy face paintings. I told him I never wanted the invite for bologna sandwich's but I know his suffering is now over. He will be missed by us all.

Dan,
I'll miss our lunches, your tales of Colorado, your laughter and great conversation, but I will miss your support and friendship most of all. I will not remember you in the hospital, but rather out on the fields and working on landscaping projects at CDO, or building things in the carpentry shop, or painting your special scenes of life and the world. I will miss you my friend.

Woody was lucky enough to win one of Dan's marvelous Indian sketches and then he later purchased a colorfull western stagecoach picture that welcomes all to our home in our entry way. These two wonderful pieces of art will remind us always of the talent and joy that Dan shared with so many. He is a friend that we will look forward to seeing again. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Paint lots of pretty pictures up there. Although its not as if God hasn't done a great job himself. I'll miss you a lot and will see you in the hereafter.
