Thanks for posting it. I heard about Dan's passing from a good friend of the family. I wasn't sure of the arrangments. A good frine do f mine was friends with Dan and said he was a great guy. I have heard of a couple of benifits to help his family out. As soon as I hear about them, I'll post them for y'all.

Besides his wife, he has four children.

Izzy,

If could please let me know about arrangements I would really appreciate it because I would definately try to make since I'm going to school in Hamden. Sorry on the loss of your friend. I'm sure he will be greatly missed, he sounds like an awesome guy.
