Yesterday

Although we did not have the honor of meeting Dan personally, we feel grateful to have learned about his beautiful life through his wonderful sister, Mary Dwyer—an amazing neighbor and dear friend. Hearing her stories has shown us just how deeply Dan was loved, and how many lives he touched.

We are truly thankful that he was surrounded with such unwavering love and support from his family and friends. Please accept our heartfelt and sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Dwyer family during this difficult time.

From,

The Berhane Family (Berhane, Ghenet, Henok, & Yonas)

PF, John and Mary Kay...Dan will always be the red-headed little brother who was peeking around corners watching his older siblings and their friends as welcome guests in your home. I remember well how much he loved the first of many Saint Bernard puppies that joined the Dwyer family. Danny lived a full and interesting life, and more importantly, always had the total support of his parents, brothers, and sister. Margot and I have prayed for your strength during your time of mourning. Joe and Margot Burns -

Dan was a special co-worker, problem solver and persistent. He worked a problem until he found a solution. I admired his work ethic and his friendship. This illness/cancer was awful, yet he dealt with it positively and used his time to the fullest. I will miss him. RIP Dan. So sorry that I cannot attend your services and pay my deepest respect (I am out of the country). I will be with you and your family in spirit. My condolences to your siblings and Sweetness. I always enjoyed your photos from your adventures.
