Dan constructed many projects for us throughout the years. I remember Kenny, barely out of diapers, on the rooftop with Dan just "a nailin away"!! Most recently, all the old neighbors had commented earlier this year that Dan was the nicest man they ever met, a gentle giant. Gonna miss you Dan. Mike and Liz

I had the privilege of playing cribbage with Mr. Daniel. I thought I was getting good. He thoroughly kicked my behind. We joked that he must be able to smell my cards. Though I only met him a few times, he was always a lot of fun, and very kind. He will be missed.
