I always enjoyed working with Dan at Armstrong. He knew what needed to be done, provided support and let me do my job. I missed seeing the both of you are the Barn Door the past many years. Of course the Barn Door is no longer. I did catch up with you both when the Big Big Jazz Band played at Woodcrest. With sincere sympathy, Jim & Linda Cluck

Dear Marie; we are shocked and sorry to hear about Dan’s passing. Whenever we would get back to Lancaster, we always enjoyed our visits with you and Dan, and the many stories that we would share about Armstrong and your many cruises. Dan was always good to work with and was a fun-loving guy. He will be dearly missed! With deepest sympathy to you and your family, Jeff and Pat Leonard / The Villages, FL.

Dan was a good guy and great to work with at Armstrong. When he was the car driver it always felt like I was in a jet – all fond memories.
