I met Dana in high school, a very long time ago! He was hilarious, thoughtful and kind. He could always put a smile on your face! He was one of my favorite people in the whole world. I am sad to know he is gone. Eva, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

No matter how tough or aggravating things got, Dana always put a smile on our faces. He helped me see the lighter things in life. His stories are priceless and I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with him. I will miss him.

Every time I was fortunate enough to run into Dana he always had a genuine smile to offer and a bright-eyed look that accompanied his laugh when we would inevitably joke about something (usually his resemblance to the host of an outdoor show). I am truly saddened to hear of Danas passing, and I can honestly say that he was one of the types of people who I rarely meet that deserve a memory to be recalled and relayed in this fashion. Im saddened to know that I wont have the opportunity to see him again, at least in this world anyway. Truly a great, kind person.

Eva, I am so sorry to hear of Dana passing! He was such a wonderful guy. I remember him helping me put up Christmas lights on our house (next door) and talking away an afternoon when we grilled. Dana will be deeply missed.
