My Deepest Condolences For Dan’s Family. I’m truly saddened to hear of his passing. Love, Hugs & Prayers.
To Dan’s family I wanted to share my deepest sympathies for the loss of such a special man. I worked with Dan for 15 years, first in the day program and then as a co-worker of Lifespan. I was always impressed by what a wonderful human being he was; there was nothing false about Dan. He had a great sense of humor, a big heart that he extended to the clients he served, and he walked in integrity in all that he took on. It was an honor to work in the same agency with such a kind and caring person. The world has lost one of the good ones.Deb Frink
