I am extremely sad to hear about Dan's passing. As a cousin, I have fond memories of Dan. I had always thought his "looks" could give Elvis Presley a "run for his money", and his work ethic was "extraordinary".! He was one of those guys that "you wanted to be like". My deepest sympathy to your Family and all of those that loved and knew Dan.

My sincere condolences to Dan's family and close friends. I've always admired Dan's ambition. One of the last true "characters" of the industry, who will truly be missed. Fair winds and following seas, Dan.
"The Voyager" - Shannon L. Alder
The Voyager
We are all lonely voyagers sailing on life's ebb tide,
To a far off place were all stripling warriors have died,
Sometime at eve when the tide is low,
The voices call us back to the rippling water's flow,
Even though our boat sailed with love in our hearts,
Neither our dreams or plans would keep heaven far apart,
We drift through the hush of God's twilight pale,
With no response to our friendly hail,
We raise our sails and search for majestic light,
While finding company on this journey to the brighten our night,
Then suddenly he pulls us through the reef's cutting sea,
Back to the place that he asked us to be,
Friendly barges that were anchored so sweetly near,
In silent sorrow they drop their salted tears,
Shall our soul be a feast of kelp and brine,
The wasted tales of wishful time,
Are we a fish on a line lured with bait,
Is life the grind, a heartless fate,
Suddenly, "HUSH", said the wind from afar,
Have you not looked to the heavens and seen the new star,
It danced on the abyss of the evening sky,
The sparkle of heaven shining on high,
Its whisper echoed on the ocean's spray,
From the bow to the mast they heard him say,
"Hope is above, not found in the deep,
I am alive in your memories and dreams when you sleep,
I will greet you at sunset and with the moon's evening smile,
I will light your path home.. every last lonely mile,
My friends, have no fear, my work was done well,
In this life I broke the waves and rode the swell,
I found faith in those that I called my crew,
My love will be the compass that will see you through,
So don't look for me on the ocean's floor to find,
I've never left the weathered docks of your loving mind,
For I am in the moon, the wind and the whale's evening song,
I am the sailor of eternity whose voyage is not gone.

2nd posting: I wanted to express my sorrow about Dan's passing and condolences to Nick, Claude, and all the family.
One time on stormy Lake Michigan, Dan and Nick, both, heroically ventured out in a small craft to recapture a barge that had one leg of a towline that had broken and in danger of being lost. Very brave action for both. I'll miss Dan and give thanks for all the opportunities he gave me to work on the tugs in various capacities.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your brother and father, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Dan is remembered as a childhood best friend and companion. I have great memories of times at the downstairs table, the woodpile and racing down to the bay. May he rest in peace.
Sincerely, Howard Gasman.

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your father, brother, and our cousin. Dan will be remembered as a hard working man with a commanding presence. Starting with little and working very hard doing the things he loved to create a life for himself and his family, leaves us with the utmost respect for him and his accomplishments. May you find solace in this time of sorrow and may he rest in peace.
