Shields family,

I was so saddened to hear of Dan's passing. For many years in Cal Park Dan and my brother Tom were great friends. We lost Tom on Dec. 26, 1999. I am sure that Tom and Dan have connected again and are sharing stories and good times. My deepest symapthies.

Jan & Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Dan well thru 8 years at Seven Holy Founders and a few years ago we connected again online. He was still the funny and sincere boy that I had remembered. Could still make me laugh. And what a memory of our childhood years! He was so very proud of his family..talking often and sending pictures. My condolances to you all.

Jan & Family:

I am very sorry for your loss. Dan was really a nice person. Enjoyed bowling with him and his dry sense of humor. All this year he was looking great, with all the weight he had lost. Guess you just don't know what life has in store for each one of us. Take care of yourself(ves). Again, my deepest sympathies.
