I Didn’T Know Dana Well, But I’Ve Known Him For A Long
Time. I’M Leaving This Note
Late Because I Keep Thinking
Of Him.
When Someone Passes, I Am Reminded Of All The Skills And Talents They Take With Them. Dana Had The Greatest Talent For Knowing The “Properness” , The Etiquette For Everything. I’M
Sure The Restaurants And Those He Catered For, Especially Those In Charleston High Society, Will Miss Him Greatly.
What A Loss!
God Bless His Family.

In The 1960’S Dana Stayed With Don And Sally Richardson’S Daughters Paige And Evan And Bill And Ann Cooke’S Son Andy, When They All Went Out Together. Down The Years They Have Been With Dana Many Times At Parties. We Are Sorry For Your Loss But Believe That Dana Was God’S Example Of How People Should Treat Each Other In This World.

To Dana’S Family: I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. He Lived With Zest, And He Was Way Too Young To Leave. I Hope You Will Find Comfort In The Knowledge That So Many People Appreciated And Were Fond Of Dana. I Knew Him As A Neighbor, And He Took Care Of The Building I Live In. In Those Years He Was Always Cheerful, Available, Friendly, And Very Kind To Me. Always Helpful, Went The Extra Mile. I Have Missed Him Since He Moved On To Other Work And Dwelling. May He Now Rest In Peace.
