Sorry to hear this

Was Dan one of the MINI2 crew?

Actual Size · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:07 PM

Such a sad thing to hear. We'll really miss the nicest person you'd ever want to know.

Steve, please email me your phone # so's I can call you.. this is horrible, what happened?..

bethandlouis · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:25 PM

This is just awful! Louis and I always looked for Dan in a crowd he always had a smile on his face and a hug for friends. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Cape Cod MINI · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:26 PM

Dan was the finest man I ever knew. I don't make that statement lightly. He was a great friend.

Services:
Brewitt Funeral Home Sunday April 22 from 4-7 p.m.
2 Epping Street
On the Common
Raymond, NH
603.895.3628

Gary King just called me to tell me what happened,I'm in shock

Cape Cod MINI · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:48 PM

I just got a call from Spectrum where Dan worked. The first location in Exeter was wrong.
Sunday services are in Raymond, NH. Please see the change noted in the above post.

MetalMiniMayhem · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:55 PM

right-o, Steve.. I can't say for sure I can make it, but I am going to do all I can to get there. Dan was a great guy, I'm really gonna miss him.

Do you know if there's anything the family needs, etc?..

Here's a great funny moment we had one of the last times I saw him. It was on the way to "Berries and BBQ 2005". HJ and TL, Myself and Dan were in a small convoy on 101 and we just randomly got out on the side of the road and presented Dan with his beautiful date.. the always love ly "Lola"

This picture just cracks me up every time I see it.. He was such a good sport and one of the kindest people I've ever met.

Cape Cod MINI · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:59 PM

Good memories of two GO MINIs

Actual Size · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:00 PM

Thanks for info Steve. We'll be there to honor a truly great friend.

rfinprc · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:10 PM

That's very sad news -- Dan was always a bright spot at any gahtering.

NoNo · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:33 PM

I really can't take this anymore. Such tragic news. I am sorry to say that I'll be in DC during the services. Please pass my condolences along. He truly was one of the nicest people I've ever known. I will greatly miss his smile and his warm heart, but I can take comfort in knowing there are three great souls waiting to greet him.

Minnie Mouse · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:44 PM

Such sad news.
Condolences to his family.

jwardell · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:52 PM

Oh no

holdenontoit · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:56 PM

stunned and uncharacteristically speechless. so sad, what a nice guy.

yellowmininy · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:56 PM

Oh, no. I didn't know Dan well, but knew him from a few runs and followed him up Mt Washington on my first drive up. He was a lot of fun, and truly enthusiastic for Minis.

Hugs to all who knew him.

GBMINI · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:58 PM

So very sad.
Thank you Steve for starting the thread - and thank you Derek for posting a great picture.

Dan was another of our "magically friendly" MINI folks, and I'm very sorry to read the news.

AprilWhine · Apr 18th, 2007, 11:19 PM

Any idea what happened?

Shamster · Apr 18th, 2007, 11:26 PM

My sincere condolences to all his friends and family
