    I am deeply saddened by Dan’s passing.
    My brother Derek and I were privileged to spend many wonderful times with Dan as young kids growing up in Ottawa Nepean. Dan was a fascinating boy growing up. He had the most vivid imagination of anyone I have ever met. He taught us how to have fun as well as to dream. There are too many wonderful stories to tell. One is that Dan built magnificent make believe cities in his parents basement. Play cities that had vehicles, roads, hospitals, houses, stores and factories. Cities that thrived with life. Characters that had names, personalities and interacted with one another just as in real life. Hours and hours of pure joy we will never forget.

    Please seek comfort in knowing that Dan’s spirit is fully ingrained in our lives forever. My brother and I truly blessed to have shared his world (together) as friends.
