Dan, you will be missed, my friend. I know that you are now pain free with your Heavenly Father. I will miss you!
Rest In Peace Dan. So glad that you are no longer in earthly pain!
you are bound by no chains, you are free to fly as the eagles and angles fly. your presence will be felt by many as we strive to rise with you…
See you soon Dan. You are always in our hearts. You come into our lives at so many times. Especially in our dreams. Keep with us Danny and we will all sit at the table again. We love you.
Dan was an irrepressible, inexhaustible bundle of energy that never met a stranger and always made a friend. To know him was to appreciate the positive influence that one man could have on the people around him, to the strangers that he met, and those who just heard the tales of Dan Welgoss. I will mourn his passing but I celebrate his life and that I was blessed to have known him and called him my friend. .
You will be missed, but I know you had a lot of family and friends that you influenced in your journey through life. You have truly been an inspiration to many. May you Rest In Peace, Dan! Our son, Kevin, named you “Dan the Man” and I will always remember that. ????
Sending love & prayers to the entire family.
