Hi, Pat and all of the Bienliens,

Daniel Bonita will always be in my thoughts.  What a great example to set for us!  And how we all looked up to him.   Such a good guy.   I frequently think of our Squadron and him.    And the 13 hours that he and Bob Lutz would not let Bunky and me get up from the bridge table in the Junior Officer's Mess (on the O-3 level) one night at Subic.  He and Bob only knew how to play for a "game" because they played awaiting a hop in the Training Command.  Bunky and I cleaned their clocks!

Very Respectfully,
       ivan

A highly intelligent, loving , thoughtful friend who always put others first instead of his own plans. A loving faithful Husband and proud father and grandfather. He will forever be missed.

My sincere condolences to Pat and her family on the loss of dear Dan. I have fond memories of him, and your lovely family. Sending you strength and love. 
My best, Adele

A great family man, neighbor, friend, and person will be missed by many.   We shared a lot of laughs, parties, food, and wine (among other liquids).  Dan made the world a better place to live in.  Heaven has welcomed a truly good guy.

I am so sorry.  Dan was a a truly loving husband , father and gracious to many.
He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and love one's.

My deepest condolences.

Dan's  salutation when answering the  phone always brought a smile to my face.

"Hello, this is me....
Is that you?"  - Dan Bienlien


Pat and the boys:

Dan got me back to the ship more times than I can count...it's in my Flight Log.  He used to tease me -- "Ivan, did you hear, we've been extended..." and  "Remember:  G-d, Country, Navy, Family, Wife, self. " 

I wish he were extended now.  A great pilot, a great squadronmate, a great friend,  not a great bridge player (Bunky and I beat him and Bob Lutz after 13 hours one long night in Cubi when they wouldn't let us stop).    RIP.  V.R.
