Thinking about you today papa. I miss you tons.

Joy and Family, You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. When I joined NLX back in the long ago time Dan was one of the first people I met and I appreciated then and forever forward his smile, his laugh and his willingness to take on any challenge with a positive attitude. His passing is painful because he had so much that he had given and so much more in the future. His loss is I'm sure felt by everyone who knew him. I can say also for those of us fortunate to work with him over the course of many years he will be sorely missed. They don't make more than one Dan Dickerson. Our hearts are with you. Dan

Danny was one of the people I enjoyed seeing the most whenever I visited the Sterling office.

Danny- I can't believe you're gone. It just doesn't seem possible. I'm not even sure what to say or where to begin. You earned the respect of everyone you worked with - because you treated everyone like a good friend no matter the circumstances. I have so many good memories, and will forever miss that, "hey, buddy" greeting. You will never be forgotten. To Joy and family - please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Danny for being a part of my life! You always said I sounded like a used car salesman but in reality you were the one who made work feel like a fun ride. May your soul rest in peace.

You will be missed.

I've known my cousin Danny since he was born. I will remember his laugh most of all. He wrung every bit of life out of his short time on Earth. "Oh all the comrades that e'er I had. Are sorry for my going away. And all the loved ones that e'er I had. Would wish me one more day to stay. But since it falls unto my lot. That I should leave and you should not. I'll gently rise and I'll softly call goodnight and joy be with you all." Goodnight Danny
