Tributes
"Karen and family thank you for sharing the picture video it was so beautiful. Although I always knew Dan, I had the honor of getting to know him so much better as the librarian over the last several years. While I would help him, find just the right books, I would also hear stories of the family, and what everyone was up to. They always inquired about me and how my family was, and I felt like we really built a wonderful connection. I will miss his little visits and his smile as I?m sure you all will too. I think God I had this chance to get to know him better and my prayers are with you all."
"We at the Jo&Go in Tabor always loved when he would stop in. He will be greatly missed."
"Our fun loving story teller!! How you will be missed! Never had so much fun as when you and Karen came and spent that week with us. I'm not sure who talked the most but i think it was uncle Norman!!. Will never forget that beautiful smile of yours. We will meet again!!"
