Dan was a wonderful person with a good heart, he was a great coworker at D303. He always had a smile on his face, he will be greatly missed. Stanley Buckner, (Aurora, IL)

It was such a blessing to be able to speak with him and interact with him one last time Tuesday. There is a permanent hole in my heart with Dan's name surrounding it. I look forward to racing you in heaven bro!
Your "little brother"

What a great friend and co-worker Dan was at School District 303. Although he was a private person, Dan & I would often have private talks while we were waiting for students at North High School. I certainly enjoyed spending time talking to him about many things like NFL Football, work related issues, or the personal struggles he was dealing with. I knew how difficult it sometimes was for him to be at work, yet he never complained and kept pushing forward. May God be with you in this difficult time.
