Dear Bobbie Sue, Amy Mariah, Erik, Riley, young Everett, and all in the Hille family,
We are greatly saddened at the loss of Dan. The world lost a good man, indeed.
Our association with Dan and Bobbie Sue was garnered through our association with your children, Amy and Erik. Finer young people one could not have asked for, with parents who cared very deeply for them. Be it a student-led conference, Dan and Bobbie Sue participated with eyes upon success for the student and teacher alike. During a very basic 5th grade study of the stars, I always remember Erik calling quite late one night to ask if I'd seen the Northern Lights. At my end I was thrilled and rushed outdoors to gaze at the illumination of the shimmering lights. At the Hille residence such interest in the spectacle and the interest to share the knowledge of it is an encouraged, caring attribute, an attribute nurtured at home.
Many memories of Dan with brother Douglas come to mind, the brothers together on the football sidelines with keen interest in Erik's play and in the Broncos team countless seasons. I am saddened that Douglas's return trip home to the U S, hampered by our global situation, did not allow for them to be together in Dan's final months.
We will miss Dan and know your hearts are broken. May you keep your dearest memories always and at ready to share with grandson Everett and your dear granddaughter-soon to be. Fondly, Harriet & Mike Lynch
