Dans fondest times were spent fishing and trapping with his father and brothers, who each had a special place in his heart. He loved family gatherings with his brothers, sister and their families. He had a close relationship with his nieces and nephews, who he spent a lot of time with through laughter and play. He had a special relationship with his mother, who he and wife Stella helped with chores in and outside moms home before she moved to the Fisher River Personal Care Home. This was Dan, strongwilled, yet gentle and soft-hearted. We would like to say a special thank you to our niece Melanie Margaret Marsden who has helped her uncle through the duration of his illness. Also a special thanks to the staff at the Seven Oaks Hospital, 3rd floor, Unit 5.
