Dearest Karen and Susan, 

I delight in my memories of our shared church activities and other fun times.  Your parents were so welcoming and kind when Dana and I moved to the Kansas City area they made us feel as if we were part of your family.   I shall always love them and you.

With love and affection,

Donna Bowles

Dan was fortunate to have two wives who loved him dearly and whom he loved with all his heart. Special condolences to Karen and Susan. I miss your mother every day. Roberta (Bert) O’Connor. 

Lots of great memories. I am so sad to see this but knowing your are looking down upon us from the stars brings comfort. I remember moving to Studio City, CA and you were there to greet us and made us feel at home. You were so wise and fun to be around. You’ll be missed more than you know. Love Camron
Minneapolis, MN.  

On behalf of the entire Boy Scout Troop 121 family where Dan was a Scout, served as an adult leader and was a lifelong supporter, I extend our sincerest condolences to the Van Gerpen family. 

In Sympathy,

Rubén Hueso 
Scoutmaster, Troop 121
Los Angeles, Ca.

There are only a few people in this world that are pure of heart.  Dan was one of those people.  A kind, caring, loving man. 
He will be missed. 

I always considered Dan to be my “Hero on a Harley” we were blessed to find each other so late in life.  I will miss him everyday.  He brought so much joy and kindness to everyone he met.  We were married four months after we met.  He is truly flying with the eagles, God speed my love.  Julie
