Dana was kind, generous, loving, welcoming, adventurous, funny and so much more. He was hard headed, but soft hearted. He loved his family, friends and dogs, Roux and Bleu. He doted on kids, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He loved to make people laugh through storytelling and jokes especially about his own nose. He will be truly missed by so many and left this world too early but his memory, smile, laugh and famous phrases will last forever.
