Uncle Dan always had an easy smile, an infectious laugh, and interesting boating & fishing stories to tell. I enjoyed being around him very much as both a boy and an adult and he will be greatly missed.
Aunt Carol, we were all blessed to have him in our lives. You are in our prayers during this difficult time.

Dan had so much zest for life, he really knew how to enjoy life. If it weren't for him I never would have learned to water ski. So many memories at the lake, at holidays/ birthdays/graduations/weddings and an unforgettable sledding trip when I was young. So glad you were a part of my life.
