I was a student of Mr. Relph back in the late 1990s and absolutely adored him. He was one of the best and always had a smile on his face or a joke to tell. I joined FBLA because of him and am so grateful for the fond memories of his classes and the FBLA events. My condolences to the family!

So many memories…the MHS coaches’ office…coaching track…coaching and playing volleyball…my nickname Hondo…hunting, fishing and good times at his cabin in Winter. Dan will be remembered always. He was a major influence in many areas of my life that I hold dear. Larry Henderson

Dan was a grade school and high school classmate. Our parents were friends and his mother and mine were thought to look like sisters, two beautiful women. Danny and I had many wonderful school memories and he always had a smile or a story to tell. He had a heart of gold and it was no surprise he became such a wonderful teacher, mentor and motivator. He adored and admired his sister, Bonnie, very much. When I think of Dan, it will always be with fondness, kindness and humor. May he rest in peace. Judy Ramsfield Mahr

One of my best high school memories was having Mr. Relph as my track coach. I always remember his laugh and smile. I think he did a good coaching job since I went to state three years! My sympathies to you for your loss.
