  1. Uncle Dan, thank you for sharing your life with us. As a child, I could always count on a booming and hearty hello on the phone. I remember when you came to visit you made amazing barbeque chicken. It was you and your wife’s love of birds that encouraged me to get my first. Now I have a small parrot (Sun conure) because of this inherited interest. Your and Carole’s encouragement helped me get through college and form a love on science, math and technology. Whatever this world holds beyond, I hope you have eternal peace and happiness.

  2. Condolences to the family and friends of Dan (Doc) Holliday. Our group get togethers we’re meaningful and enjoyable and he will be missed.
