Dan was a very kind man and generous without asking for anything in return. When I look around my home I see things that he built for us, a cupboard, ceramic tile counters and on it goes. We are so thankful to have had him in our lives. Don’t forget everyone, when you go to the Sanderson Center look up at the ceiling and appreciate the restoration that him and Richard did. It is a work of art.

Condolences to Suzanne and all of Dan’s family. He was a wonderful man, he could build anything, knew a lot about a lot of things and with a little shy smile would have the final word. Humble and helpful and so easy going. He will be sorely missed. Marion
