I graduated with Daniel from Crothersville High School in 1948. I also was on the basketball team with him. I had seen him at several Alumni Banquets over the years. I am sadden to learn of his passing. I married Wanda Dowling who Daniel had known, she also was a graduate of Crothersville High School. Darrel Fleenor, Indianapolis IN..

My condolences to the family. The loss of a loved one is never easy. May our loving God continue to strengthen you as you remember his word the bible says at John 5:28, 29 that there will be a resurrection. With this hope it is possible for you to see him again. The best Friend a bereaved person can have is our creator, Jehovah God. We are encouraged at 1 Peter 5:7 to pour out our heart to him in prayer because " he cares for you." Moreover, he promises that all who do so will have their thoughts and feelings soothed by "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding." Please allow God to heal you with his consoling Word, the Bible. May all the many wonderful memories that Daniel your loved one provided comfort you during this most difficult time.
