Barb,
I am so sorry to hear of Dan’s passing; you and Dan had a great life together. I will always remember those times when our families got together growing up. We had so much fun, and Dan was a wonderful person, and always brought laughter to those around him. He will surely be missed by many. God bless you and your family, please let me know if you ever need anything, and I will be there for you.

Barb and family~
I have had the good fortune of knowing Dan through my best friend, Bill. (Barb’s brother)
Dan was a wonderful man and I will miss him much Although Dan has “gone home” his memories we can always cherish and enjoy.
Barb, I cannot make the services, and am very sorry. God bless.

Ann, you have my sincerest sympathy. I don’t know if you remember me, I worked for your parents taking care of Janie one summer when you lived in Shelby. I think of you quite often as I still get the NW Herald. My brother still lives there.
Take care
Dana

Barbara and family…You have our deepest sympathy on Daniel’s passing. It’s always very hard dealing with the death of a spouse, father, grand-father, brother and uncle but you will get through this by leaning on each other for strength. God bless.
