Marylin, I´m so sorry to hear of Dans passing. I didn´t know Dan personally. I sat behind you at St John´s for the past year. Every Sunday I´d come home and tell my husband of the handsome couple who sit in front of me. I knew immediately he was in the military he had such an aura and presence about him. Week after week seeing Dan looking so sharp in his dress shirt and vest I bought several vests for my husband, who is retired navy. Now when he wears them I will always think of Dan. My best to you and your family.
