I never knew such kindness and gentleness in the eyes of a man such as Dan.
He will be greatly missed by all whose life he touched. Dan was brave and loving and never had a bad word for anyone. He was the definition of Love.

I just found out Angie, told me..She was Tim’s babysitter. I feel real empty, he would of been there for me. I always looked up to him, he was a role model. Danny ,Mike Milic and Nick Tarilo ,young-tough-dignified Serbian Warriors from the mean streets of Gary. Trying to make sense of a world gone crazy. Born into this insanity, there faith and love of God.
These Crusaders, following the light of the Holy Spirit , clearing that narrow path for future generations , as our ancestors did fo us.
Thank God for putting you here on earth, your strength and humility will continue to transcend. To my Christian brother, Good Job! Now its time to get go work, your work here on earth is done and Jesus needs your help in Heaven.
