Brett my heart goes out to you on the loss of your dad, and Jennifer’s dad too. Find comfort in that he is probably in god’s arms and at peace. I was so happy Jenny got to spend time with him before he passed and rekindle there daughter./father relationship.
Brett and Jennifer I also wanted to express my condolences. Even though I have not seen Brett in many years I have had the honor to stay in contact with Dan’s daughter My niece Jennifer. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
The obit needs to be corrected. Dan is also survived by a daughter, Jennifer L Hinds.
Barb and family,
I very sorry and saddened to hear of Dan’s passing. I hadn’t seen him in a year or so, but we had many similar interests, and I truly enjoyed working with him at WalzCraft. I can’t think of how many times I picked his brain. His opinion was valuable and his perspective unique. He was a wealth of knowledge and I’ll miss him.
Barbra so sorry for your loss only met Dan once or twice but was impressed with his character and for his love of the outdoors.
So sorry for your loss. We watched a movie from when the kids were younger and you all were collecting sap to make maple syrup. Remember the good times, he will always be in our hearts. Take care Jeff and kris van horn
