I worked with Dan at Delta Airlines. He was a really good mechanic and a great person.
I worked with Dan at both Trans States Airlines and ATA airlines. He always had a smile. He always laughed easily. He was always jumped in to help. I once got stuck with a broken airplane in Iowa, At the time he was a supervisor and could have sent anyone, but he came himself because he was a good friend. Dan was a great guy and will be missed
Working with Dan at Trans States Airlines and Boeing and was much enjoyed. We all still laugh to this day as we had a mess of phone wires under a table in our maintenance office. Dan grew tired of the need for us to clean around this and elected to cut about a 2″ wire group of phone wires. Well it took out most of the phone lines and computers in the whole B concourse of Lambert Airport. A man quickly found the location of the outage and repaired all he wires and mounted them nicely to the wall. Nobody asked anything and nothing was said. We still chuckle today, the guts to just cut those. Enjoyed our time working together and will see you again.
