Dana loved his family most of all, dancing and listening to all types of music would bring him much joy. Throwing the football, playing badminton in the back yard and just enjoying his time with the kids are some of the things he valued in life. He would always offer words of encouragement when you needed it most.
As husband and wife we shared 27 breathtaking years together. It wasn't an easy journey, but a journey worth while.
What I would give for just one more day. You will be greatly missed.
