Requiescat In Pace






When I went to work in Oregon in 1996 I gained a good friend. We've kept up on each other over the years, no matter where our seperate paths took us. For the last 3 years or so we've both been in Arizona. For the last 2+ we've been working together again.

My boy Dan, the dude in the Cowboys jersey in the Rocky Point pictures, took his life about seven hours or so ago. I don't know why.

Dan was a good and true friend. He had a good nature and would do anything for a friend. On a trip to Las Vegas for a wedding a couple had a wreck in Wickenburg, AZ. They called Dan, who was already in Las Vegas. Without hesitation he said "We're coming to get you." About an hour into the rescue he asked "So how far is Wickenburg, anyway?" That's the kind of guy Dan was.

Goodbye, my friend. You will be missed.

Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry. You always wonder if there was something you could've done, some way to help. So many unanswered questions. My heart really goes out to you.
