My sincere sympathy to Dan's family. I worked with Dan in Milwaukee at the Mopar Parts Plant and also would sometimes catch a ride to work with Dan. Dan was a kind caring person, and a real pleasure to be around. He had a deep work ethic and cared about his fellow employee's. He always had a smile and was always willing to help in anyway he could. He cared about people and was just a great guy!
