My heartfelt condolences to Robert, Daniel, Michael and Sarah Dotras. Your father gave me a job when I was going through a difficult time in my life and for that I will always be greatful. May his soul Rest In Peace and may the Lord grant you comfort in your time of grief.
I knew and worked with Dan in the late 1970’s in Miami, Fl. A big guy with a heart and personality to match. Lost touch when he moved to Texas. His last stop out of town was my house to pick up some things I had borrowed. I still have a working voltmeter that he gave to me with his initials DD burned into the case. I was just a kid, and he helped me get started in the technology business. My condolences to his family and apologies for such a belated response.
