As senior surviving Son Tay Raider, Dan was very helpful and informative in putting together Col. Bud Sydnor's nomination for DMOR. He was a great guy and one of our brightest stars.

Rest in Peace, Dan!

Just read this.

Very sad. My condolences to his family

I knew Dan as a civil servant here at Benning and then following his retirement.

I used to get emails from him re SFA meetings and other topics all the time and then they stopped.

Now, I know why.

Rest In Peace
