My condolences, love and support go out to Dan's friends and family. I was Dan's sister-in-law for several years. His light was such a bright one, and he will be missed by so many. Dan inspired us to live life to its fullest, and to find the adventure, passion, and enthusiasm in all that we do.
I had the opportunity to ski with Dan a couple times, and experience his patient teachings. He saw me struggling and working so hard to get the courage to just point my skis downhill. After some time, he finally said 'Just go! Just have fun! Think of Jimmy Buffet and Margaritaville!' Suddenly my fear melted away and I started enjoying the challenge.
At our wedding in 1993, would Dan be found taking pictures with his feet on the earth, like the rest of us? Absoulutely not! He scrambled to the nearest tall tree to get the viewpoint he wanted. We had some great photos that day, and a special one of Dan in that tree that to me captures Dan's spirit.
We love you, Delta Dan!
