    We just found out about poor Dan's passing as we were driving through Florida yesterday on he way to my brothers house. He was perhaps the kindest and gentlest soul we know, and his handshakes and smiles will be greatly missed. I wish we could be there for Denny right now, but we are thinking about him and praying for him. Greg & Rose
