Today on the anniversary of your passing I just want to once again tell your family that I too miss you. We had so many nice conversations when you or Sonya would call on me at the Texaco Refinery. He was a fine gentleman and a true joy to be around. May God bless him and all those he loved.

A brief note to Dan's family. I had the honor of knowing Dan in the 80's until his retirement. He (and Sonya) called on me at the refinery near the Sunshine Bridge. It was always an enjoyable visit, full of laughs, professional info, and heart to heart talks. His favorite subject, the love and respect he had for his loving wife, his children, their spouses, and the tremendous joy his grandchildren were. Thank you all for making my friend Dad a very happy man with a full life of love, great health, and smiles. God bless Dan, all those he loved, and loved him.
