Dear family & friends of Dan
Today I learned of Dan’s demise last year.
I had known & liked Dan & Dar ever since I moved into my Edmonton apartment building in November 2011. [ In fact, it was Dar who showed me my apartment when I was a tourist in Edmonton in October 2011 and
decided to move to Edmonton. ]
Dan was well liked & respected by the tenants in my building. And he respected the tenants and was very helpful, which was much appreciated.
We missed Dan after he was no longer in our building.
