Dan was a great husband and Dad. He loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed boating on the Chesapeake, talking to everyone, whether he knew them or not, walking up behind you and grabbing your ear and a making people laugh with his great sense of humor. He was a very giving man who would go the extra mile to help others and who always gave everyone not just one opportunity but many second chances.
"My precious child, I love you and will never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." We love you and miss you Dad, we will meet again someday.
