Dear Lise,

I'll miss Dan a lot. He was one of the finest and most honest fellows I've known. He taught me a lot over the years, and I'll never forget his many kindnesses. You will stay in our prayers.

Dear Lise,

I worked with Dan at the Shedd for the past 4 years. Dan was always more than willing to help and lend a guiding hand. It was a pleasure to work with and know him. He will be sorely missed.

Dear Lise:

I was truly sorry to hear about Dan and hope that with the passing of time you are OK. Dan was one of the many reasons I enjoyed my time at the Aquarium...his passion for his job and the animals he cared for. I was glad that he joined the Operations team and I know that he will be missed by everyone. My deepest sympathies.

Dear Lise,

My deepest condolences on your loss.

There hasn' been a day in the past few months when Dan did not cross my mind - you were such a perfect couple. I know your strength will carry you through this difficult time.

All my love,

Dear Lise:



I don't think I had the pleasure of meeting you, but Dan stood up for my wedding 23 years ago. He must have donea good job, because my wife and I are still together all this time!



I don't need to tell you, but Dan was a wonderful guy. He was as comfortable as an old pair of shoes to be around, a real salt of the earth kind of guy. We lost a great one when we lost him.



I am so sorry for your loss.



All the Best,



James McDunn
