I’m so sorry to hear about Dan’s passing. It’s been years since I worked with him at ESS, but he sure left a lasting impression. I still use all of his sayings. “I was born at night but not last night.” I wish I could be there tomorrow to pay my respects. He will be on my mind all day. Sending my condolences to Nonny and the family.

Ron Wood "Woody"
I was very sad to heard of Dan’s passing from my sister Anne White of “White’s Wearparts Ltd. ” today and I would like to pass on my condolences to the WOOD family . I use to call Dan “CUZ” as our last names and even our nic names were the same and there was always a friendly give and take between us , as “ESS”and my old company “Wood Bros. Equipment” were in direct competition for many years with two of the biggest players at that time in the Wearparts tooth game , with “ESS” having ESCO and myself having HENSLEY . Even with that tough competition between us , Dan was one of the few guys I knew in the Equipment and / or Equipment Parts game that his WORD and ACTIONS were GOLDEN and you could go to the bank on his hand shake and / or word alone ( can’t do that today with many ) . So to Dan’s family , a guy like Dan will always be remembered fondly even by the direct competition !!!
Robin Priestly
Norma, our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to you and the rest of the family…
Danny was truly an amazing individual and the most honest salesman I’ve ever met. Him and my dad got a long so well because they both honoured the code of the handshake. Priestly’s successful equipment fleet was built on deals that Danny set up over the years. His love for you was unwavering and something I always admired. He will be greatly missed in the halls of the Priestly offices. xoxo

Mom, Sista and Nieces I am so sorry for your loss. We all have so many memories. So many laughs he will never truly be gone from us. Keep them and cherish them as I will. And remember if you need your Honey, your Dad or your Papa just call on him and he’ll come. Love you all.
