Dan was a humble, gentle man with a wonderful sense of humor. He was giv en many challenges in life and served them all well.

After serving his country as a Marine in the South Pacif ic during World War II, he returned home to become a dedicated employ ee of Kimberly Clark for forty years.

A traveler ventured forth one day upon a long and winding road with fai th and trust to lead the way and strength to bear his load. And at a sl ow but steady pace, he journeyed from place to place and learned his lesso ns in life. Until at last one quiet morning, he climbed yet one more hi ll and saw in the distance, a beckoning light that promised peace and res t. Following its glow, he came upon the House in which it shone.
