So sorry to hear of Dan's passing. I will always remember him and his M43 and the MASH display he put on at car shows and the Iola military show. Another memory I have of him is when he invited my wife and I to take my Power Wagon on the pipe line in Mountain with a group of fellow military enthusiast. He will be missed. Craig Jungwirth

I am sending my deepest condolences to the family from Nairobi Kenya. Dan was so dear to me during my visit to Wisconsin in 2016 and 2018. He was so kind to show me around. We visited quite a number of places with him and had great time. He was such a kind man. I will miss him so much. May he rest well
