“I wish to express my sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Dana`s family in their loss. I knew Dana and Nancy primarily from Longfellow Chapter #61 O.E.S. I shared lots of memories with them and I will treasure them. He was a character. If you met him you would never forget him. He was a wonderful man and was great as a ritualist. I`m blessed to have shared life with him. May you cherish and treasure the memories you shared together with Dana. God bless you. Love and prayers.”
