We are very sorry to hear of Dan's death. We did not see him often, but enough to know what a wonderful, personable Christian man he was.
I (Ruth) am the daughter of King Lester, Dan's half-brother. My favorite memory of Dan is how neat, clean, and well-groomed he always was.
May God be your comfort in this time of loss.

Kent and Andy,
So glad to have wonderful memories of your Dad from when we were very young. His laugh is unforgettable. I remember him singing with mom while she played the piano. As kids, we thought "oh no, not again", and now I would give anything to hear those voices. Memories are forever.
With Sincere Sympathy,
Tana
