Condolence from Ron and Maxine on November 10th, 2023 12:13 PM

Judy we are so sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. As I was reading all the condolences above Ron and I were remembering our times with both of you. You and I met because of my being sure I would never be good enough to play Scrabble at Hillcrest. But you kept encouraging me to go back and try again and at your urging I did and am still playing it there! I met Dan in the Christmas golf parade as he jumped off his cart and gave me a big hug. Surprised I said “Who are you?” He gave me a piece of candy, jumped back on his cart, and said “Santa Claus”. He was dressed in a Santa suit.🤔 After he left Ron told me who he was. He and Ron were good friends and had many good adventures on the early morning fishing trips! Ron also enjoyed his just stopping by our porch for neighborly visits. Dan always made a person feel at ease. Then our other memory was our canoe trip with you folk, Ruth and Ed Kitchen and us. Good memories! Will pray for strength and comfort for you in the coming days.

Condolence from Lloyd and Ruth Westbrook (Wallis) on November 10th, 2023 2:06 PM

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the Alce family during this time of loss.
