APOPKA,

Barbara; Scott Crockett and Candi; Shay Crockett; Maureen Tabaczka and
Bob; Kenny Tabaczka and Kerrye; and loving Poppa to Kennedy, Kutter,

October 03, 2019, 4:59 PM Prayers of comfort and peace to Dan’s family. ~ Dee Miller
I only met Dan briefly a few times, but had great
respect for him as a counseling professional and his
dedication to helping people recover from addictions
of all kinds. I heard him speak on various topics
related to addictions and also considered him solid
in thinking and his approach in working with people.
He was one of the people I felt most comfortable
with in referring clients who needed that
specialized help. He will be missed in our
professional community by therapists and clients
alike. I send my prayers for peace for his family
and friends who loved him. May you always hear his
words and his laugh in your heart, see him with his
smile, and feel his continued presence with you
throughout life.
~ Dawn Lipthrott, LCSW
My deepest condolences to Darlene and the family. Dan
and Darlene are two of the kindest and most generous people I have
had the pleasure to know. If not for Dan's counseling and Darlene's
friendship after my separation and divorce I would not be the
grounded person I am today. Both gave their time and love without
restraint to everyone they encountered. Their love for each other
was an inspiration and rooted in their commitment to each other. I
am blessed to have known them and to call them friends. .

That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
