Dan was one the greatest guys I've ever meet. He loved to work on cars, and spent most of his time at the meets under someones hood or under someones car. Dan and Lyle helped me several times with things on my car, and with questions over the years. I will always have fond memories of hanging with him during/after the MSC events.
RIP Dan, you will be missed.
Trying to dig up pics, but having hard time finding any good ones.

Dan was one of the best guys around in many ways. He could always find ways of solving a car problem. Even if it kept him busy for days ! I just talked with him on the phone about two weeks ago and he was still very high in spirits on his condition. Most of all I have lost a great friend, and a guy that enjoyed working on cars at any moment. My prayers go out to his family at this time. Dan will be greatly missed, no doubt. When I got the news early this morning it just changed the entire day.
Dan...thanks for the friendship, knowledge and just plain old good times!

It is hard to adequately describe Dan. In the eight years since I first met him he had sone countless favors, sacrificing his own time to help some young punk work on his car when I was convinced that he would rather be doing something else entirely. But that wasn't Dan, he wanted to do those things, he wanted to help whomever was willing enough to listen and get their own hands dirty. Ask any of the original Bill's Drywall member what their first experiences of Dan were like and more often than not it involved seeing a guy flat on his back, working his ass off under someone elses car with a big smile and a cigarette burning somewhere close by. It is a shame that someone who always put others before himself would meet his end where none of those whom he helped could do anything other than be at his side.
When Dan first mentioned to me he was going through this battle it shook me... this man had seemed impervious to it all. Fending off his own age, making it through decades on the force and outworking those half his age. At the time he was doing well in chemo and seemed positivethat in time this would be behind him. Today is a sad day, we lost a good man... and we all lost a friend, whether we knew him or not.
Goodbye Dan, you are missed.
