To Dan's family.  I just heard today of Dan's passing.  My heartfelt condolences go out to all of you. I had many dealings with Dan as I was a claim representative and settled many claims with him.  He always had a joke or two to tell.  He used to fax me jokes on Fridays. I loved working with Dan, he always brightened my day. He will be missed.

Gail, Sarah and family,
I am so sorry to learn of your loss.  Dan was a very funny guy and am fortunate to have known him.  Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincere Heart Felt Condolences Go Out To Gail, Sarah And The Entire Bigsby Family...
Learning of Dan's Passing Saddened Me Deeply...

I first met Dan and Gail as neighbors when they moved to Hadley in the mid 70's. I took a liking to Dan right off. It was hard not to.
Not long after that I needed Dan's services as a lawyer. That is when I learned what a kind, compassionate and caring man he was. Not to mention how skilled and talented he was at his craft.
I have to echo the condolences of others who wrote before me.
Dan was a wonderful man with a quick wit and a great since of humor. I cant remember having a conversation with Dan that didn't begin or end with a joke. Over the years we talked from time to time. I would Usually call him when I needed advice about something or another. If he wasn't available at the time, he would always get back to me in short order. Always with a answer or sound advice. Our conversations would sometimes end with one of his timeless jokes,, and always with a smile on my face...
Dan will surely be missed on earth ~ But ~ They Are Smiling In Heaven!!!
Again,, Condolences to Gale and Family with Love & Prayers...

   "So sorry for your great loss".. Dan was a great friend and we are both shocked by his passing. We have so many great memories that will be treasured forever!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Gail and family, may you find comfort in the words of friends and strength in the arms of family.  From your Red Cross days, I know he was a great man and a joy in your life.  Thinking of you all at this time.

Gail and family, 
My condolences on your loss....my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Lora Good, former Red Cross coworker

Dan was my friend and mentor for more than 30 years.  We practiced law together in Burton during the 80's and 90's.  I NEVER MET A NICER OR BETTER PERSON IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Dear Gail, Sarah, Kevin, and Addison -   
We are so saddened by the passing of Dan - so many great memories of all of you on Lake Lapeer. We'll always remember him calling us to the pontoon with his bicycle bell.  What a fun and generous guy! He made every day brighter for everyone he came in contact with. What a super blessing to have known him. Great, great picture of Dan.

I echo the comments already given by fellow lawyers Duncan MacDonald and John Streby. I will miss one of the lawyers with whom I was admitted to practice on the same day. Condolences to the family.

Everyone who knew Dan is poorer today.  We remember his devilish grin, his love of life, his generosity.  We recall his devotion to his clients, his exhaustive preparation of their cases, his folksy brilliance in and out of the courtroom.  Dan never pursued recognition, never sought a photo op.  And he never failed to do the right thing.  Rest in peace, dear and esteemed colleague.  Our deepest condolences to you, Gail and family.

To Dan's family:  No words can express the sorrow I feel at this time.  Dan was the greatest guy and his absence will be felt by many.  Since graduation, the times we saw each other were few and far between but each one was always great.  I am so glad he and Gail were able to be at the reunion this year.  May it help ease the pain of your loss to know so many thought so highly of Dan.

My condolences to Dan's family. It was always fun to receive a call from Dan. He perked you up.
He was the definition of the ideal  attorney.  A very kind, smart, unassuming person who understood the human side of his clients and represented them with total dedication to what was really in their best interests. While Atty Bob Collins was one of the most humorous attorneys around, it took  Dan's sense of humor to  keep  Bob grinning  on many stressful days. The legal community needs more attorneys like Dan Bigsby.
May God Bless you, Dan.

Dear friends,  We are so sad to hear of Dan's death.  He was such a kind man. he was a great lawyer and friend.  May God comfort you.  Please let us know when the memorial service will be.

Dan had it all, he was a great lawyer and a gentleman.  He knew how to work hard to do his best for his clients and friends while always maintaining a great temperament and sense of humor.  I think he taught us all how to practice law the right way.  He will be missed.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of a great friend for the past 60+ years.
My heart goes out to Gail, Sarah, Addison and Kevin. What a super guy he was, an unsung hero. I will always remember the help you gave when needed and asked nothing in return. 
Good bye old friend.
Ken Dunton

Gail and Family, Steve and I are so sorry to hear about Dan.  We both thought the world of him and the fun times we had in the old neighborhood. We send loving thoughts. Love, Johanne and Steve.

Sarah, Kevin and Addison,
I understand that no words can ease the feeling of loss at this most difficult time. Dan was the kind of person that made an immediate and wonderful impression on anyone that had the pleasure to make his acquaintance. Kind, funny and generous are words that come to mind as I think of him. Dan was the first person on the lake to welcome us when we moved in. He immediately caught my attention with his quick witted humor and huge smile. He truly made my entire family feel welcome as we shared great times on the water. Whenever I saw Dan and Gail on that pontoon, I just had to see the hat he choose for the day, and hear his most recent joke. 

It was easy to see how genuinely happy he was spending time with his family. four years was not long enough to have this man as a friend. It breaks our hearts and we feel we have known him for much longer. His kind soul has left an indelible impression on my entire family. We feel blessed to have known such a wonderful person even if the time was brief.

Seems so long ago when I worked with Dan when he first started in law in Flint with Atty. Bob Collins.  I've thought of him fondly every time I drove by his Burton office and just knew he was a great lawyer and a wonderful family man.  Gail and Sarah know that Dan is in God's loving arms and may you be comforted in your loss.

My deepest sympathy Gail and Sarah. Dan was a a truly remarkable friend and a great lawyer. I always loved his jokes. I was shocked when I heard the news. Sending prayers .

Oh Sarah & Gail how my heart breaks for you and the Bigsby family... When I was growing up Dan ran around with my older brother, boy could I tell you some stories...As time went on Danny was always there for my family, he was the kindest, most caring person anyone could ask for... Then he married the love of his life Gail they were the perfect couple. Sarah I know it so hard right now, but the great memories will get you through and all of the prayers we are saying.... Our condolences....

Our daughter was killed 24 years ago and Dan helped us through a bad legal situation.  He was so kind and generous and a brilliant man.  We will never forget him.   We are so sorry for your loss.
Gary & Barb Martin, Millington

Gail, I am so sorry to learn of Danny's passing. I was a great guy and I wish I had known him better. My thoughts are with you, Sarah, Danny and the rest of the family.

We are so sadden that our wonderful friend of 60 years has passed away. He was always there when we needed his help. We were fortunate to have him as our friend and we will miss him greatly. There are very few that can make everyone's life better by simply knowing them but Dan gave great joy to anyone that he came into contact with. 

No matter what words we think of they will not do justice to our friend. 

We extend our condolences to his family.

Gail, Sara, Kevin & Family
I am saddened to learn about Dan. He was a great guy and always had a funny joke to share. May your Faith help to keep you strong during this difficult time. Sincerely Jim Jozwiak & Family

How sad we were to get this news. Lots of words could be used to describe Dan: kind, generous, witty, serious when he had to be and always fun to be around. We cherish our memories of time spent with Dan and Gail. Our deepest sympathies to all his family. Jim and Linda Hartman

Sarah, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Dad.

In an era characterized by hype, image and pursuit of fame, Dan was a superb example of the quietly heroic figure, who did his job diligently and effectively, without endeavoring to make himself a celebrity or icon. As such he is an unsung hero, part of a dying breed, and will be sadly missed.  My heartfelt sympathies go to his wife Gail, daughter Sarah and her family, and to the rest of the Bigsbys who knew him as a brother or uncle.

our thoughts and prayers to Dan's family. He was a great guy we knew from high school.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Gail Sarah and family very sorry to hear the passing of dan very special man

Love &  Light for the  family.
Dan my friend of 50 years always had a 
Joke for us.You surely will be missed.

I was completely shocked to hear of Dan's passing and am so saddened for him and his family.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers and my heart goes out to each of you but most especially to Gail and Sara Ann.  

I will always remember Dan as a very, very nice man who always seemed to have a smile on his face and as one of my oldest brother's (Roger) best friends.  Dan once told me some of the scrapes they got into!  They sure had fun over the years.  When I told my dad about Dan's passing, he was saddened.  He said Dan was the first paperboy he and mom had on Center Road as Dan and his family lived across the street from us.  

I am praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to heal your heart.
