To my Brother,
You left too soon. I miss you terribly. I will always have our memories, and will lean on them often. Today would have been your 58th birthday. Your first one to celebrate in Heaven. Happy Birthday, Bro. I count on the day when we will be together again. See you in Heaven, dear Brother.
Much love, your Sis and Brother-in-Law, Deeanne and Keith

To my family,
We have had a great loss, too soon. Dan was a great man, full of life and humor. He loved the Lord, and his family. We have so many wonderful memories to keep close in our heart. Stay strong, and hold close to the promise that we will be reunited with him again when the Lord calls. 
Much love to all of you, Deeanne and Keith

I remember Danny.  We were in Orchestra at BHS.  He loved that trumpet. Heartfelt Sympathies to the family.

Jean, Deane and Linda,
Our deepest sympathy to you during this difficult time.  We remember “Danny” fondly as a young boy growing up in Bedford, Ohio.  These words of deepest sympathy are sent to you with the hope that as time goes by; your cherished memories of Dan will help bring you inner peace.  May the memories that mean the most to you live forever in your hearts.

We are so sorry for your loss! It is good to know that he is in a much better place and we will see him again!

Dear Linda,

Although I cannot be there for the service tomorrow, my thoughts and prayers will be.

Instead of sending flowers, which will wither away, I wanted to do something more for Danny.

Knowing his love for baseball, I have purchased a brick in his remembrance to be displayed at the new statue of Elmer Flick that was unveiled today at the square in downtown Bedford. This way Danny's memory can live here in Bedford for all to see.

When it's in place I will follow-up with a picture,

Again, our deepest condolences,

Sam Pretzlaff and family

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Dan from back at Heskett Jr. High. We were walking home from school with a group of kids and one of them didn't like the vest Dan was wearing, bullied him for most of the walk. Taunting, challenging him. Dan kept his head held high and acted as if the kid wasn't even there. The bully eventually gave up when he couldn't get a rise out of him. To this day, when I hear about kids being bullied or something inspirational about standing up for what's right despite the challenges, I think of Dan and the example he set. No doubt someone of his integrity left quite a legacy for generations to follow. Our prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Linda, my deepest sympathy to you and your family.  I always loved Danny for his fun loving spirit and kindness.  He always remained true to himself.  His passing is such a great loss for all of us.  I am so happy to have spent some time with the two of you at our reunion.  I will always remember his harmonica solo. I cannot imagine the difficulty that lies ahead for you and your family.  Please know that there are many of us that will keep you in our prayers.  Jan Hetzel

My memory of Danny goes all the way back to the fifth grade - always one to make us laugh! His musical skills stood out in band and his antics were a legend. We all will treasure the memories of him and especially the time at the 40th reunion in July. "Absent with the body, present with the Lord" Make some beautiful music in Heaven Danny - we all know it will be fantastic!

Linda and family,

My thoughts are with all of you during this very difficult time.  Danny will be greatly missed by his Bedford High School 'family.'  I am so glad that we were able to share laughter and music with him at our 40th reunion this past July.  Watching him play the harmonica with the East Wind band was a highlight for all.  Here's lighting a sky lantern for you, Danny.

Linda,
Our hearts go out to you and Dan's entire family.  We are just so very grateful to have had a chance to see you both in July at the reunion.  I will cherish the warm hug from Dan along with all the fond memories of the weekend.  Cherish your happy memories, they will bring you comfort in the difficult days ahead.  Connie (Vitu) Mack - BHS Class of 1973

Unfortunately another classmate and dear friend has left the planet.

I'm so glad that Dan and Linda could make the 40th class reunion. We had a great time together.

Dan was strong in his faith, and we no he's in a better place.

Rest in peace my dear friend...

Till we meet again,

Sam Pretzlaff
