    The first people we met when we moved here were Dan and Sylvia. What a card he was....loved his sense of humor and his joy for life! Our late afternoon visits were always filled with stories and laughter. Rest in peace, Friend!

    Remembering Dan as a friend, neighbor and a “grandfather “to my boys. Jake used to go over and eat popsicles with Dan on the front porch. Anytime Dan was outside Jake would ask if he could go over even to help him rake leaves. He was so excited when he was finally old enough to take a ride on the motorcycle . Dan had a great personality and a big heart. He will be missed dearly Sylvia we wish we could be there to give you a hug to comfort you. Your in our thoughts and prayers. Love the Tuttle’s

    Uncle Dan was one of the most admirable men I knew. If I were given a choice to have a father in my life uncle Dan would've been the image I would've selected for the role. You will be missed. Condolences to Aunt Sylvia and the entire family.
