Hello Chris, very sorry to hear this. Our family has yours in mind.
I’m very sorry to hear about Dan’s passing. I worked for him for quite a few years and have some great memories of him. Bless you all in this time of sorrow. Bill
Chris, Jim, my deepest condolences. My father knew Dan much more so than I, he always spoke vert highly of him. It’s surreal to see their generation passing… They sure don’t make them like that anymore! Keep your heads up, knowing that your father was a great man.
We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this difficult time. And, Jim, we are always here for you.
My condolences to his family and close associates. I served with Dan in 217EIS/ILANG.
Diane and Family,
Please accept our condolences. Dan was truly a public servant, and served the County and The Village with honor. God bless you all at this time.
Jim and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! We are so very sorry for your loss!
Love,
Sarah, Chad, Peyton, Molly, John and Carlean
