Loved coming to your 4th of July celebrations & it was obvious that Dan really liked hosting them. Ron & I enjoyed when the two of you stopped at our booth at the Covered Bridge Festival for several years. I’m so sorry for your loss of a great husband & father.
Pat, I was so sorry to see this today. Sending love and prayers to you and your family.
Dan was an awesome Project Manager for years at ISA. Everyone who worked with him had great positive experiences. He had a way of engaging people and making them want to get things done. He was missed the moment he retired from ISA. I am sure so many more will miss him now.

Dan was so much more than my friend. I will never forget you and always remember your since of humor, and the great person you were to all of us.
I was a project manager in Marion County ISA with Dan for a while, and found him to be a “go to” person for level headed advice. Greg Hertenstein
Dan hired me out of college to work in his area at ISA. I was only there two years before moving on but I always appreciated him as a supervisor and respected him as a person. He was always professional, knowledgeable, and fair with me and with others. It was an honor and pleasure working with and for Dan. My most sincere sympathies go to his family. He was a good and decent man and I am better having known him.
Dan was the son of Gene PAVEY. Gene was my banker when I was in business. Dan and I shared a lot at work (Enterprise). He was certainly a gentleman. We found a lot in common about out relative friends in the Rossville Indiana. The Yoder family. Gonna miss you Dan we shall meet again in Heaven. Ralph Calvert
