Dan was my big brother. His Tennessee girls and I will miss him. I'm going to share one of my favorite memories. When Dan came home from his tour in the Navy, he spent some time with me, his little sister. He took me out to dinner many times. We rode his Indian motorcycle and he introduced me to fried oysters. And I introduced him to his future wife, Betty Harris. Betty was a student nurse with me at Memorial Hospital in Springfield, Illinois. I brought her home to spend a free weekend with me and that was the end of Dan's bachelor days. My heart goes out to Becky, Beth and Emily. You made his last months so special. Love to you all.
