So sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. Our sympathies to Sharon and the family. It’s sweet you mentioned all his animals in the obituary. He was a great animal lover. His horses would come over to “visit” sometimes. We had fun once or twice chasing Phil around, trying to get him to go back to his yard. I have pictures of that! Good times. He was a great neighbor. — Jeanne and Ted Starmack
