Dan was one of the most patient people I knew. He accepted me as part of the family right away and could always makes me smile. He loved the bartender at our wedding, because he said she was a heavy pourer. If I remember correctly he said he had like 16 whiskey sours that night. He will be dearly missed.

Dan has been a hero of mine as far back as I can remember. He took me everywhere with him, including his dates with Nancy. He was patient, genuine, kind and loving and I do not remember him raising his voice. He touched more lives than he probably knew and I am so blessed and grateful that I am one of them. I will miss you tremendously.

Life is fast. Michael Mull once told me in the hospital many years ago...to appreciate other people around you. It did not register to me then. And I am afraid it is yet an important skill that I am acquiring only this year with true authenticity. I truly do appreciate the character that Dan pursued in his life. For me, I see that he Lived with Strength, when he could have easily given up. Thank you to his immediate family for sharing this time with us. Erika

You may no longer be with us, but you will forever be in my heart. Miss you and love you.
