Marilyn, Kristine, and Jennifer
I knew Dan for many years at the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). We often attended legislative hearings together, among other tasks. I remember Dan fondly as a wise friend with a great sense of humor. He had a genuine concern for kids in the schools and for his fellow workers. My wife, Beth, also knew him from MDE as well as from his special education background and also has many great memories of Dan.
Our prayers are with you and other family members.

Dear Marilynn, Kris and Jenny,

We were so sad to hear of Dan's death. And way too young! We remember Dan's creativity, love of education, hard work, sense of humor and love of family. We pray that all the wonderful memories will help you during the tears and loss. We are living in Wisconsin now and will not be able to attend the funeral. Praise God for Dan! He IS a great man!

With love,
