Jerry and Family,
It’s hard to come up with words to express our deepest condolences at your time of loss. We saw so many wonderful comments from his old friends from Cranberry on facebook about Daniel. He sounded like a great boy who was a very hard worker and would do anything for anybody. He was also very handsome. You can be very proud to have raised such a great young man. We pray for God’s comfort in the difficult days ahead and send you our heartfelt sympathy.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Beary family. We got to know Dan and Jerry several years ago when we moved back to PA. Dan was a special person who always wanted to help others, worked hard, and played just as hard. It will be the laughs and antics we will miss the most. Dan could turn anyone’s day into brightness just by being himself. You will forever be missed.
So sorry for your loss. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
We are sorry for your loss. Your memories of him will keep him forever with you, and know that your many friends and neighbors care. Steve and Sheryl
