I have know Dan for 29 years and he became a dear friend to me. I was told before I met him that we would be good friends. No statement would ever be any truer than that, I teased him and joked with him for years and he never got mad he say I will get even. he said we were peas in a pod . I will forever miss that pea from our pod. Love you Daniel Proctor
