May 15, 2022 at 2:49 pmDan was my brother-in-law and was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I was honored to have him as a member of my family and will miss him dearly. He had a great analytical mind and seemed happiest creating new things in his workshop to resolve problems around the house. (If a part broke and it was no longer available, he would make something even better than the original to replace that part with.)
Dan and my sister Joan appeared to have a perfect marriage and complimented each other perfectly with their personalities and strong suits and you could tell they loved each other very much. I’m sure they are together and happy again in heaven now.
