To Danny's Family,
I have known and loved Danny for most of my life. We lived on Sugar Street and went to school and played together non-stop. Danny's love for horses and 4-H took him to the Dunlap Farm. I believe that every kid in town spent their early years with Bill and Bea Dunlap and their girls Paula, Suzie and Jeannie. I found some photos from our year books. What great memories I have. Can you believe it - Danny - 1958 part of the Homecoming Court. Thank you Danny, for being my friend from the beginning. april

Pat,
My heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. I appreciated reading about Dan's love of the outdoors.
We have not been in touch since high school but I remember our 12 years in school fondly. You and Pam were always such a positive presence. I am sure you miss her even now.
Wishing you strength and peace.
Warmly,
Nell

I will always remember going to rallies with Dan. Being at Black Lake the same week that he was a few years ago. Attending Lima/Troy CAP Meeting together. I will miss him very much, even though I didn't really have the honor of knowing him very well at all.
