What a wonderful commentary on Dan’s family, education and career and meaningful life. He will be missed.
I’m so sorry Marilyn. Knowing it’s coming doesn’t make it easier. Thinking of you.
Marilyn, so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a husband. Many prayers for you and the family. Love you.
Handsome man. I am sorry that he had to leave this life. Please find joy in your rememberings of him.
My experience as one of Dan’s employees spanned more than three decades. Dan was a dedicated hard worker, who lead by example, which is a real rarity in today’s world.
He was good at getting people to use out of the box thinking in order to come up with solutions for customers, and he would often go the extra mile while helping them. While he did expect a lot out of his employees, he was both fair, and willing to listen to their input, which is more than many can say about their employers.
A great number of people were positively impacted because Dan was here. He will be greatly missed.
