    I first met Dan when he came to work at Hexcel. He was a fun person to talk to, and he could carry on a conversation on most any subject. As a fellow Army veteran and co-worker, I will miss him.
    Godspeed, Dan. I hope we’ll cross paths again one day.

    Dan… I am blessed to have had many enjoyable, intelligent conversations with you during my years working swing shift with you at Hexcel. It always brightened my day to chit chat with you and see your smile. I’m grateful I went back for that extra hug the afternoon you retired. Rest in peace buddy, and God bless you and your family.
