The family gratefully acknowledges the outstanding care he received from Dr. Eric Olafsson, Meghan Christian, ANAP, the staff and specialists at Froedtert Hospital West Bend, Horizon Hospice and Home Instead, especially Rykki.
In these difficult times, and per Dan’s wishes, in lieu of a funeral, and if desired, Dan would appreciate memorials to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
