Sending my sympathy on your loss. I knew Dan years ago when I worked for Andy McGann Funeral Home - he was a wonderful, friendly, hard working, gentle man. He was very proud of his family, always speaking about his children.

Dear Curley family, Ellen and I send along our sincere condolences and thoughtful prayers on the passing of a great man, who is now reunited with his loving wife Barb. I first knew your father from St Sabina and later growing up on West 78th Place. Your father was a great man, with a great heart, and the childhood memories he created for all of us will be long cherished. May he rest in peace.

Dear Curley Family,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of Dan. I grew up on 78th place and remember playing kickball in the funeral home parking lot. Later via my friendship with Steve Boyd, I was welcomed on a cruise with the group and also to Twin Lakes. Many happy memories of a fine man who loved his family, served the community well and had a great Irish sense of humor.

To The Curley Family,
We were so sorry to learn of Dan's passing. What a GREAT guy!!! He will be remembered by the Henning Family as one very energetic man, but always with time to chat, help out, and look out for his neighbors. We loved to hear Dan's stories of military service while based near the north pole. Always a big smile on his face, brimming with self confidence, but a sincere concern for those experiencing loss. You were a great neighbor Dan, but you have left us with many fond memories. May you rest in piece.
