Uncle Dan, I was always so proud to show my friends the photo of you in your military uniform! My fondest memory is when you came to Cedar Point with us, when I was a young child. We rode the Blue Streak roller coaster. It was the first time I’d ridden it and I thought I was going to fly out of it! You held me down and kept me safe! I think that’s how I always felt about you after that …Safe! Rest in peace in heaven. You’re with Grandma and Grandpa and your siblings. Until we’re together again, watch over us. Love you!! Denise
