Dan dedicated 42 years to his love of the railroad, teaching us all it’s a privilege to wait for a train. He was a passionate bowler, achieving two perfect games and regularly bringing donuts home to celebrate. He loved his friends and family and never missed an opportunity to play a game of Hearts. He cherished Linda, his precious wife of 45 years. Most importantly, he loved the Lord, and we celebrate that he is rejoicing in glory with his Heavenly Father today.
