I am so sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. He and Pat were very important to me because of my friendship with Tony. Thank you for being there when I needed an ear.

Miss you bud
Miss you dad
I will miss you much Dan. You were always an inspiration to me in how to live my life selflessly for others. And I must say, you are such a cool guy and a pleasure to be around. You lived by example. May God bless you with all His glory. I look forward to the time Christ calls me home too and I get to see you once again. +
O Sovereign Lord Christ, deliver your servant Dan, from all evil, and set him free from every bond; that he may
rest with all your saints in the eternal habitations; where with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and
reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Let us also pray for all who mourn, that they may cast their care on God, and know the consolation of his
love. Amen +
Our sincere condolences to the entire family.
My association with Dan has been thru work. I met Dan in the early 80′ and even tho I worked remotely, we stayed in touch by phone and emails. I had a lot of respect for Dan, he was cool headed and a very enjoyable person. I miss the fact already that I can’t just call him up, but I know Ill see him again.
To my role model, big brother, golf buddy, best man and friend. I love and miss you brother
