Dear Kathy.
We are so sorry for your loss. We wish we could be with you, but unfortunately that is not possible. Be assured Dan is in our thoughts and prayers. We always enjoyed our time with Dan as he always had a smile and a story to share. Dan was a good man and will be missed by many.
Love Mike & Michelle.
My family and I are so sorry to hear about Dan, Carol.
I have fond memories of times spent together.
Thinking of you Carol,
Denise, Heather, Jennifer, Martin and John K
Dan was one of the kindest and most loving people I have ever met. He was both a gentleman and a gentle man. Keeping his family in my thoughts and prayers — and celebrating his life with a donation to Helping Hands Center.
My sympathy goes out to your family. I am so glad to have lunch with him a few months ago in Calumet, MI. Your light post will shine for a long time.

Dan was a kind and gentle man. As neighbors, we were the lucky ones to be growing up next to Dan and Carol in Crystal Lake. Watching your family grow and then our families becoming better friends with each day that passed is the best memory. We remember that Dan always had a smile on his face and was so friendly. Whether we were playing baseball or snowmobiling or just chasing gophers in the side yard Dan would be there with us. Thanks Dan for some of the best memories as kids.
You are in our thoughts and prayer! Rest in peace.
Love The Hoeft Family.
From all of us at Loyola Hospice, please know our prayers are with all of you. Thank you for trusting us to care for Dan in his final days.
Carol and family heart felt condolences. We are saddened by Dans passing. I cant think a a kinder and more generous person. We were blessed to have known him. A great friend and colleague. Dan was a great role model and mentor!
He will truly be missed. Prayers to you and your family.
