Dan - To see this heartbreaking anniversary makes me think of our years together, first as friends and then more as time went on. I see your smile, you wearing suspenders along with a belt! Our having fun fishing and you're being a man of strength when I needed it. The warmth and gentleness to those who cared about you. The jewelry workshops at the Plaza, your parent's home and at your home. Our mutual friends at Art Fairs. We lost such a wonderful friend and companion when you went to God. We'll always love you, Danny.

Danny - My heart sank when I saw this. So many years and great times, doing art fairs, the beautiful pieces that you made and inscribed for me. Our fishing trips to Wisconsin on a weekend or going up to Eagle River. The wonderful, huge hearted way your whole family welcomed me each time I was there. Miss you Danny and will always keep you in my heart. Margaret

Wow, Danny I can't believe that I am writing this for such a wonderful person like you. You called and talk with me 2weeks before your passing and we laughed so hard about the birds that was in back of the mall, and how you seen on tv that we could have been rich! I love to share our silly story's together, we have been joined at the hip since 1992, we open Roberts Custom Jewerly in 1993 where we have worked side by side, and even when we were off I would still come over for you to fix something on my car, bike, or jewerly we made the best team ever! I will miss all of us getting together on your front lawn to watch the fireworks, and all the silly things you used to do. I could go on and on with Stories about our R.C.J. Family, but this story would never end. So I guess I will just have to say goodbye and you will be truly missed. #teamDan❤

A heart of gold- Dan would say if you can't say anything nice- don't say anything at all-. Kindness, gentleness and love was Dan. Unpretentious he was a true gentle man. Life is going to be hard without you- you were a rock always there a shoulder to cry on. I miss you Dan Dan- . oh Danny Boy you are gone way way too soon.
