Jan and I send our condelences and prayers to the family of Dan Dixon. He will be missed and I will miss our talks when he would stop in his red jeep, when I was out for a walk. God bless…

Grant and I miss Dan, a wonderful neighbor who helped us with our garden, horses, and snowed-in driveway. He liked to find a reason to start his tractor. His voice was always cheerful when he often spoke of his daughters. Dan’s woodworking and metal craftsmanship created works of art. Our condolences to his daughters, to his dear wife Faye whom he adored, and to their families.
