I am so sorry to find that Dana has passed away. I knew Dana since the late 80's and he was always good about circling back around, reaching out, and staying in touch. He was a very considerate person and fun to do things with. I know he loved his family and children very much. I hope the good memories help during this difficult time .

I'll hold on tightly to the wonderful memories I have of our Pyle days & beyond. So happy we re-connected again at 30 year WWHS reunion!
You will always be in my heart.....
because there's no love like first love .
Heartfelt condolences to entire Hinton family.
