Dear Dan's family, you don't know me except what you read about me in Dan's book, and even that was only half true. So sorry, but I can't write anymore now.

— Finn Berra

I'm sorry about the loss to your family. You don't know me, but I met Dan through the dog grooming business my husband and I owned. I would pick Abby up for grooming, first from where Dan lived on Division and then from where he moved in Paris Estates. I am glad to know that Dan is now in the presence of Christ. Marcy Oostenbrug

Dear Bolhuis family, Although you don't know me, our family had quite a connection with Dan several years ago. I am Jean Moore's sister and Dan lived with Jean (in Jenison) for a couple years. He was included in many of our family outings. Jean died of cancer in 2008. Jean and Dan were good friends for a long time. He got Abby when he lived with Jean. When our family saw that he had passed, it brought back memories of the two of them. We miss them both. May God be with you through this time. Sue VanderMeer
