Dan was always a source of good cheer, an upbeat perspective, and warm loyalty at the flight service station we worked at together. I actually cannot remember a time when he was not ready to poke lighthearted fun at the situation - that familiar smile on his face, and his able wit delivering a well-crafted repartee to anyone foolish enough to try to best him. His spirit was irrepressible, and he only met his match in lively enjoyment of life with his witty spouse. He loved the playful use of words, and tried to provoke others to take part, savoring their wit as much as his own. This man was a wonderful, knowledgeable coworker and great friend. I will miss him, with many fond memories... warm thoughts and wishes to you, dear friend Diana!##imported-begin##Kirby MacLaurin##imported-end##
