DAN WAS A GOOD FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR WE WILL MISS HIM.
I really don’t know where to start. Dan and I became friends in 1992, As years went by, we became good friends and decided to make him my brother and stayed brothers. The last time I saw him was at the ABBY HOUSE. He looked frail, 2 weeks later he was gone, I miss you Danny
I’m so sorry that I never really had a chance to really find out what was wrong with you, I think that day at THE ABBY HOUSE was my chance and never took advantage of it, perhaps it was an OMEN that I was granted a moment and a chance to see and spend a small amount of time with you before you left.
No more pain…..No more pain…..
Miss you…your Brother Booboo.
aka Marc.
Dan you left us too soon. We miss you so much and Mike seems lost without you. I guess people are stronger then we expect at a time like this. I know Mike will be alright after a while. He probable doesn’t think so, but he will. I will miss our pretend arguments we used to have. We both enjoyed fussing at each other.
Goodby Dan you will be missed very much and we will try to keep an eye on Mike to see that he is OK.
John and Marc
