I have fond memories of Dan and Autumn from the years during which I was active in St. Joseph’s Parish. They were both graceful, kind and dignified people and I was so honored to know them both. Mourning Dan’s passing, but rejoicing in a life so well-lived and the knowledge that he and Autumn are together again. My deepest sympathies to the family.
