Our lives will never be the same without our dear Dan Todd. We are neighbors by chance and dear friends by choice. We are all better people for having shared time with Dan. He was a kind, loving, genuinely caring, and incredibly smart and funny friend. There will forever be a special place in our hearts reserved just for Dan. Karen, you know we love you and we will share many more laughs together. Today however, we cry and help each other through this pain.

I doubt that you would know me Karen we only met very breifly at Dans Service lunchen at EFCO.
There are very few beings on this planet that are in Dan's catagory.
Being Dan's wife would put you up there also. I wish God's hand upon you to help you through . The Old Man at EFCO.
