I first met Dan at our Single Family Home Evenings, and he later became my dental hygiene patient. I want to share how fondly I remember him. At first impression, he was a quiet, cheerful man with a good sense of humor and a lot of fun. He always brought the best bread for our dinners. (Dutch crunch, which he pretended to have baked) He brought the most interesting and unusual puzzles for us to work, and he was quite proficient at working them. After getting to know him better, it was obvious that he was also a very tender, gentle man. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. I was excited when my good friend Joan started dating Dan. They seemed to be a perfect match for each other. I was thrilled to hear of their engagement, and celebrated with them the day they were sealed to each other. What a memorable ceremony that was to witness! I am saddened at Joan's loss, but glad that it is only tempory, and that they have much time to spend together in the life after this. Dan will be missed by all who had the priviledge of knowing him.
