"Dano" was a great person. A man who loved and cherished his children and grandchildren.
He was the best to have as a friend and was always fun to run into and hang out with.
Words, however kind can't mend the heartache ... but a whole town shares the grief and wishes him "god speed".
Save us a spot at the round table !

We are saddened to learn of Dan's passing. He was such a good man. He was caring and kind, and always had a warm smile that seemed to brighten the day.
We last talked up at Jester Park, near Saylorville, August 2022, when we were back. The kids had a get-together there and Max was taking Owen camping overnight for the first time. Dan came by for a brief stop and chatted. Always strong, and smiling.
Dan will be missed. Prayers for peace and comfort to all who grieve.
