Dear, dear family.  I am so, so sorry to hear  about the passing of a legend.    Our families' worked, sweated and dreamed together as each chiseled a hard fought tomorrow. In modern day,  we each had the others' backs.   I only hope you all know how much I respect  you as honest and genuine people who have not conceded the integrity instilled in you by family before you .

Dear, dear family.  I am so very sorry to read about the passing of a legend, a legend,  in the history that forged our families' livelihood.  Our families worked, sweated,  dreamed and shared together like family.   And now, as time has come too soon, we cry together.  I am so, so sorry  to hear about Dan, Sr.   You will be in my prayers to ask God's generous love who everyone  knew your father.

The staff of Dunbar Funeral Home extends our deepest sympathies to the Yates family during this time of loss.

When I came to Charlotte in 1979, I met the Yates family. Dan Yates Sr. built a successful vault company with compassion, integrity, and plain hard work. Dan Jr. and Robert, thank you for continuing to serve the funeral profession, throughout the Carolinas, with the same commitment and strong work ethic that your dad instilled in each of you. I know you could not have had a prouder father. 
Your dad was a good and decent man. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
