I had the great pleasure of knowing Dan at North Bay Manor. I would have to be in the kitchen to prepare for an activity for the residents on a regular basis. Dan was always helpful, cheerful, high spirited, had something nice to say, and always wore that infamous smile. He took great pride in his work, which came across in all he did. He will be remembered as everything good and kind. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Jimmy & Marianne,

Please accept our deepest sympathies on the passing of Dan. I remember the twins from our younger days, and he was much to young to leave. Try to take some comfort knowing that he is at peace with Mom & Dad in a much better place. May they rest in peace.

I first met Dan and his brother, David when bowling at the Johnston Town Hall Lanes. He was an awesome bowler. We could never beat their team. We had a lot of laughs. I was hired at North Bay in 2009, that is where I met this guy and said " hey, I know you. That was our joke. Every Thursday, Dan would say, see you tonight at bowling! He was such a great man and inspiration. He would give you the shirt off his back. My deepest condolences, Lynn. God is holding him in his arms, and we WILL see our loved ones again in our precious Heaven.
