We have only just heard about Dan's passing and are so very, very sad to hear this news. Art got to know Dan through TAC Computers where Dan (and Derek) gave such great advice and service for two computer-challenged "oldies". Thank you, Dan - you will be thought of and remembered by us. And we shall keep your family, Dan, close in our thoughts and send you all our sincere sympathy - and sadness for this huge loss for you all.

Mr. and Mrs. Fondell and all the Fondell family, friends from Nome and new members, my heart is heavy with the news of the loss of my dear friend, but joyous in all the many, many happy memories we share. Danny was my BFF, before there were BFFs. There was no one better to "ditch" High School second period with, and go for coffee and donuts, no one better to just sit and talk with. I'll remember him, and you, every day.

Reconnecting with Dan the last couple years has brought such enjoyment and meaning to me. I’ve seen the love he’s shared with you, his family, and his expression of art and community. Your healing will be in all the reminders he left behind.
