I am so sorry to hear the news of Dan’s passing. I worked with Dan at Bickel’s owned by Hanover Foods. It was a horrible place to work, but Dan was the lone bright spot.He was the most positive person I have ever known. I was new to the industry and Dan always took time to help me out whenever I needed it. It wasn’t his job to help me, but that is just the kind of man he was. He was a wonderfully honest man. My heart breaks for his family and all those lucky enough to call him friend.He cherished his family so much. There aren’t a lot of guys like Dan in the world. You are missed dear friend. Rest in Glory. Randy Kelsey
