Dan was a very dear friend that I will always remember. I worked with Dan and he was always happy to teach us all about power plants and about life. Dan will be missed by everyone that he came in touch with.

I worked with Dan at Sabine Station for a few years. He was a fine Supervisor and a good friend! The most knowledgeable man I knew when it came to the operation of Power Plants. I learned a lot from Dan and I will never forget all the things he did for me to set my career on the right path. He was a good decent hard working man and will be missed a great deal! My families heartfelt condolences go out the Dumas family!

Diana, Neda and Danise I’ll never forget all the wonderful times I spent with your family. Your mama and Dad and the three of you were my second family. We have such great memories to cherish. I have physical therapy on Monday so I won’t be able to make the service but know that everyone will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless each of you.

I have such fun memories of my stays with Uncle Danny and Aunt Betty back in the day. Shucking pea pods and eating their incredible Jumbala. Now you and Aunt Betty are back together again; I can almost hear the laughing already.
