Dan was such a people person! He had the type of personality that everyone loved. He was such a humorist and story teller. I so enjoyed working with Dan. He was great fun to speak with on the phone, and could always make the problem less troublesome. He was a great guy and a wonderful host! The EMSI folks really liked and enjoyed Dan's hospitality. I am so sorry for your loss. Your hurt knows no bounds. I pray for your comfort and your peace. May God be with you at this sorrowful time.

Prayerfully yours,

Holly Parmley

Pam, I am so sorry to hear about Dan. I met him one time when he came to Dallas to visit with Sallie Blount. He was the type of person who made an impression and I never forgot him even after that one visit. Our prayers will be with you and your family. Randi

Dear Pam-Dan will be sorely missed in the "hood". We loved him dearly and couldn't wait for the next story because it was always hysterical. His laughter was priceless. We love you! The Viva's

Pam -

I'm filled with great sadness learning Dan has passed on. Please know you are not alone in your loss. He had such a great sense of humor, and all of us at EMSI loved working with him. I'll never forget the times he spent with us - it was always so much fun when he came to town. Please know our thoughts & prayers are with you.

Pam,

We love you and are so sorry for your loss. Dan was a great man and was always ready to share a smile, (and a beer). The "hood" will NOT be the same without him. Your love and devotion to each other was evident in all you did. You were certainly blessed to have found each other. We love you. The "witness" family.

Pam, I just received the news and it is with a sad heart that I write. We so much enjoyed working with Dan. He always made us smile and laugh. We will truly miss him and his wonderful sense of humor. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful husband. He always talked about you and you could tell by his smile and the sound of his voice how much he loved you. May God give you strength for your days ahead.

With deepest sympathy,

Sallie Blount

Pam, Grant and Alicia,



I just saw the notice, and would like to express my deepest sympathies. I knew Dan from our high school days but haven't seen him since then. I remember Dan as a very funny guy who was always joking around - he was a great guy! May God bless you and help you through this difficult time.
