I was very sorry to learn of Dan’s passing. My dad and I worked with Dan on several projects. He was an excellent plasterer and was a pleasure to work with.
I am so sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. My deepest sympathy to all Dan’s family. I have know Dan for many years playing in the Memorial Concert Band. He was a kind and gentle man and truly will be missed.
Having known Dan for 40 years I have admired his professional work, and more recently enjoyed his music making in the memorial concert band. My thoughts are with Suzanne, Rick, Paul and those who loved Dan at this time of loss.
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
So sorry to hear of Dan’s passing, sending my sincere condolences to your family. I didn’t know Dan well but we both played in the Memorial band for many years and I know he was such a kind and gentle soul.
My sincere Condolences for your loss Suzanee and family.
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.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you Sue and your family. Dan was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many. Take care of yourself. We will talk when your heavy heart is a little lighter.
I am so sorry to hear about Dan’s passing. He was a treasure.
Sorry for your loss Suzanne. You are in my prayers.
Our most sincere Condolences to Suzanne and all his families.
What comes to mind in hearing his name, He was a real good guy!!
Rest In Peace Dan, we will remember you, with such fond memories
