Ash, Court and family:
I will always have very fond memories of your dad. I remember working at Seafood Connections,(best seafood ever) I remember our sleepover parties, and how awesome your dad was. (Mom too) Any time i’ve seen your dad in recent years, he has always stopped to chat with me and loved to brag about his daughters and grandkids. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I will miss knowing you are in the world, dear cousin. I will never forget how you tried to step up for our family when my father died, even though you were just a teenager. You moved stuff, fixed stuff, and even put up our Christmas tree that first year! I hope your family finds an angel just like you! May there be no damned blue pickup trucks in your heaven. Godspeed, Danny. <3

Dan was a really great guy. I am a member of a group of “old guys” who had breakfast at Bickford’s every other Thursday. Dan would frequently come out and visit with us. He was so friendly and welcoming.
We share his loss with his family & friends.
