Our sincere condolences to your family. We grew up with Dan in Lawler, IA and just recently saw him at Wells Fargo Arena for the girls state basketball tourney. We were hoping to see him at the class reunion this year.Would you be so kind as to let us know what happened that he left this world at such a young age?

Paul, Larry and all of Dan's family,
I am very sorry to hear of Dan's passing. We played little league together many years ago in Lawler and graduated from T.V.H.S. back in '71. Dan was one of those truly nice people that you meet in life and count it as a blessing to have known him.
May he rest in peace.
