So sorry to hear of Dan's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. Dan was a wonderful man who always had to say hi and ask how the day was. He was our courier at UW Health in Beaver Dam. The two of us quit smoking together and we supported each other every day throughout that challenge. He will be missed greatly.

My deepest sympathy to you all for the loss of such a wonderful man. Dan was so kind and funny and everyone who got to know him was better for it. I will be forever greatful that I was able to see him and talk to him before his passing. Marilyn, Dan had conveyed to me what a wonderful woman you were and that he was all the better for having you in his life and couldn't imagine not being married to you. I was hoping to tell you that but did not see you after his passing. Just remember how much love he had for you and keep that with you always. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Dan's death. I knew Dan for many years while living in Beaver Dam. Dan & I had a lot of conversations about life and happiness. The two greatest loves he talked about most often were Marilyn and Stacy. You were so important to him and his eyes lit up whenever he talked about you. He was a true friend and I am proud to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My condolences on your loss Marilyn. I know you'll have many good and happy memories of Dan. I also knew him through his work as a UW courier and he was such a personable yet funny person, and he never forgot a name. I know he will be missed by many.
