Robin, I just heard about Dan. I am so sorry! I haven't seen either of you in years, but I will never forget seeing Dan's smiling face when Sandy, Frank and I would walk into Hotrods. He was a very kind hearted man and he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Trying to figure out how to spend my days now after being with you 24 hours a day for 21 1/2 years. The only man I ever truly loved I will miss you always. Till we see each other again I'll take care of our family. Love you big daddy.

Robin and family, we were so sorry to hear about Dan. We did not get to see him often but the few times that we did it was apparent what a great guy he was. Sara still talks, and laughs, about doing dishes with him on Thanksgiving. Please know that we have kept you all in our thoughts and prayers each day and will continue to do so.

Love,
Nancy and Sara

My Dad, my hero, my everything. Words can not describe the pain I am feeing. You always took care of me and I know you will take care of me always. You were an EXCEPTIONAL man. The man I ALWAYS looked up to. The man who would do ANYTHING for me, the man who I will forever be proud to call my Dad. You're missed terribly by all of us. Jayda misses her GRAMPS. I know you're right by our side...You're a legend in my eyes and I love you with every piece of who I am. Because of you, I am me and I couldn't be more grateful that I have and always will have such a loving, awesome,funny,caring,amazing strong Dad. You're in my heart forever. I love you. Hugs and Kisses. Jess
