Dan, when I left Fel-Pro back in '92, I lost touch with you and many other good friends. This news saddens me, but I'm reminded of the good times we shared with the golf league, the bowling league, and especially the monthly poker nights. We had some really good fun together. My best wishes and prayers to your family at this difficult time.

To Kathy, Tom, and Jim--
We were very sorry to hear of Dan's passing from Mom, and wanted to send our concolences to you all from Virginia. I remember Dan playing baseball with my brothers and I out in front of your family's home when my brothers and I visited with our grandparents, and I even recall him giving me one of his old bikes that I rode for many years.
Love and Peace,
Tom, Diana, Stephanie, and Paul Socha

To the Mathews Family---

My brother, Randy, gave me the news at our family Christmas dinner. We grew up with Danny---we lived on the 7700 block of West Palatine. I'm slightly older than Danny and Randy is slightly younger. I wish to add my condolences to this guest book as I think back on our times together those many years ago.
