I remember when Katie, Zoe, and I would come visit Aunt Ruth and Dan for a few days and we would play cards for hours, go to the movie store, and usually order wings! Dan thought it was so funny that I could eat almost a pound of wings as a young lady. To this day, that’s the best wings I’ve ever had! Always had fun and made sweet memories when we visited. He was always so soft spoken and always shared a smile and good conversation with me ❤
I worked with Dan in the Structural Mill in the early 70’s. He was always very helpful and considerate. My condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace.
