There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe the type of person Dan was.  He was kind, outgoing, and witty.  He was  the kind of person who would go above and beyond, even for a complete stranger.  He was larger than life.  He had an infectious personality, leaving a lasting impression on anyone he met.  Dans family was his whole world.  He was a wonderful and loving husband to his wife Jackie for 61 years.  He dedicated his life to his children and grandchildren, supporting them through all of their life events.  Our hearts may broken, but our memories of him are a true gift.
