Dan’s personable, caring, and competent manner will be terribly missed by all of us who worked with him.

We’ve always considered Dan part of the family here at the United Church’s resource production unit. His long relationship here, his commitment, and his warm personality made him always welcome. We’ll miss him a lot.

Blessings, Dan, on your journey.

Sue and Family, So sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. Our love and thoughts are with you.
Dave and Connie Vanstone

Dan was a trusted mentor and a caring friend to many of us. His words of encouragement, his calming presence and his big heart will be greatly missed.

I am so very sorry to hear about Dan’s passing….I have know him for many years working with him on different projects. His friendly smile and big heart will be deeply missed.

I spoke to Dan on Monday, and how I wish I had known it would be our last conversation. Dan cared so much about people. He had lots of wisdom to share, lots of stories, and a lot of laughter.

He told me more jokes that I can’t remember, had a “moving tip of the day” for me, told me to persevere, that I would come out the other side of a difficult time.

He taught me so much about print that I am forever indebted to him. He punched holes in my belt.

I will miss Dan very much. Already not talking to him during the day has been a strange void to feel. I feel so lucky to have known him.
I have a picture of him somewhere – a young man with big sideburns standing leaning on a cool car. I’ll endeavour to find it.

Miss you Dan. Stars have been brighter this week.
always,
Kiddo

We will miss our long-time & true friend. Dan meant so much to us.

Although I did not know him well, Dan always greeted me with a smile when walking into our offices in RPD at the United Church. He was a kind and thoughtful person – always interested in how I was doing, etc. and actually taking the time to hear my response.

His warm presence and kind smile will be missed.

Whitney, Henry and Family,
Our deepest condolences to you all during this difficult time. From the staff at Alternative Answers

I had the pleasure of working with Dan for the past 10 years at Regal Press.

Oh, how I’ll miss his afternoon phone calls with: “Hi JB, how are you doin’ today?”

He was a lovely man. I can still hear him singing show tunes & hymns from his office.

God speed dear friend.
June

Dear Sue, Whitney & Henry

May it help in some way to know that others share the sorrow in your hearts. Dan is already greatly missed by those of us whose lives he touched.

He was very proud of every one of you and loved you very much. This was evident in the way he talked when we’d chat.

He was a super, caring guy and good friend. He had a wry sense of humour that could put a person into a fit of laughter in an instant. He was wise and his advise was alway good.

Another beautiful voice is now added to the choir of angels.
Sing loud, my friend, sing loud.

Our condolences to The Sweet family, from Carmine Jannetta and family, former co-worker at N.C.R. and fellow director of N.C.R. Credit Union.

I’m sorry I missed the viewing, but my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Whether in person or over the phone, Dan would always brighten the lives of those he touched. Knowing him has enriched our lives in many ways, through his kindness and never ending support.

He leaves big boots to fill, but has blessed us with the paths our footprints have shared.

To Sue, Whitney and Henry

I am so sorry for your loss!! I hope your great memories of Dan are some comfort to you at this time. He was a great exhuberant man, and a great father to Whitney and Henry. My best thoughts and wishes are with you at this time.

Knowing that Dan will not be at the XUCC dinners any more seems incredibly strange. He was a great friend to all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our deepest condolences to you all, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love John, Verna and Family

I am so sorry to hear of Dan’s passing away. Sue, Henry and Whitney please accept my deepest sympathy . I have very fond memories of Dan in the Caledon Community Singers his sense of humour and game for anything silly to make the audience and choir laugh are something I will always remember.

Dear Whitney and Family,

I am very sorry to hear about your loss, but I hope that the time that has passed since we saw one another last has found you well and continues to do so in the future.

Sincerely,

Melissa Eberly

iam very sorry to here of dans passing he was a great guy

We were so sorry to hear about Dan. Although we did not know him well, he made a positive impression in the few times we did meet as neighbours down the hwy. Miranda-(Nippising with Henry) and Nicole (Melissa’s classmate at RFH) would like to pass along thier sincere sympathies as well.

Sue and family,
I am so sorry to learn about Dan – and over two months after his passing. I missed the announcement while out of town.

He was a wonderful man and I have thought of him a number of times recently, not realizing this sad news. After I no longer worked on the bulletins, we had little direct work contact. Nevertheless, his warmth and kindness always made it a treat to run into him at the GCO.

I was so touched by a conversation with Dan when I preached at your church a year or two ago, that I have mentioned it many times since and will continue to do so – if I can do it without tears.

I am so sorry for your loss and will pray for comfort and peace in loving memories.
