Sad news indeed.

Frank,

Might I humbly suggest that, as was done last year to honor other lost GSR comrades, we officially rename one of the southeastern rallies in Dan's honor, perhaps the one you were supposed to get together at? I suspect he (and Gale) would enjoy that, especially since riding was one of the things they both took such joy in, from what I've read and heard...

Regards,

[omaharj]

My condolences also...

This would be up to either Don Pepe who is having the West Virginia ride next summer (in Dan's home state) or Adam who is hosting (tentatively at this point) the Southeastern rally. I will humbly request that we leave that up to the rally owners as to whether they choose to rename their rallies or not. I will definitely see about asking Gale to attend if a renaming does take place however.

Frank, I am truly sorry to hear of this.
Losing a close friend is very difficult. Please accept my condolences and be assured your request for a prayer will be met.

This is a loss for all of us as Dan has long been a part of the life of everyone on the GSR. Even though many never knew Dan, he will surely be missed.

So sad, to die while your just eating dinner when only a couple of months prior miracleously surviving a terrible bus accident.

Frank, I'm sorry for your loss of a close friend.

I'm for one am in favor of a memorium page. I would give us a lasting place to honor and visit or fellow departed GS members.
