It has been some time since I've seen you, Dan, but the times we had were worth many lifetimes. I love you.

The years have passed with little contact, but my memories of you are happy ones. Our years growing up were special ones to me. You were my "twin", my buddy, my "partner in crime", and for a long time we were inseparable. I will miss you, Dan. All my love, Brenda

Dan, may God raise you up on eagle's wings. It is sometimes said "Only the good die young." Today we believe that is all too true. Love, Aunt Linda and Uncle Dick

I will always remember your smile and jokes you shared with all of the Elves at the local Hollow Tree. All of us at Keebler, Grand Rapids Bakery will sadly miss your ray of sunshine in our work day. God be with you and shine His wonderful grace on you and your loved ones left behind. Your friend, Jim Morin

I'm so sorry to read of Dan's passing. I could always count on a warm smile and a good laugh whenever we crossed paths in Keebler. Dan had a gift to make people laugh and the world will be a lesser place without him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As Dan's former supervisor at Keebler I was very sad to hear of his untimely death. He helped me get through many rough days with his sense of humor. Will be missed by all who knew him. Sincerely, Ray

Don and Sue and Family,
 So sorry to hear Dan passed away. I have so many nice memories of Dan's young years and the fun times at Lake Cecelia. I pray remembering the years Dan was with us can bring you peace.

Dear Van Dyk Family, I worked with Dan at Keebler for many years. I missed him when he left and will miss him even more now that he is gone. We worked near each other over the past years, when I got to know him better. He talked about his daughter Stephanie often, and I could tell he loved her very much. He always was fun to be around and made work so much more fun. My sincerist sympathies to the entire family. Mark Zuidema

I am truly sadden by the news of Dan's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Dan at keebler. We shared so many laughs and good times at work. He was blessed with an incredible sense of humor. I feel fortunate that God allowed me spend time with him. Our lives will never quite be the same without him. Thank you Dan, for being my friend. I will miss you, and may God bless you and your family.
