Yesterday was one of the saddest days of my life...I had to say the final Goodbye to my most cherished Friend and "Brother"....and it was a true honor to have taken part in his Masonic Memorial Service. Dan was the "Brother I Never Had"...we shared so many happy experiences in our Masonic/Shrine/and personal travels. He brightened up any place he happened to be with his glowing smile and contagious humor...never meeting a stranger as he showed his love for life in all he did. But I don't need to explain this to those who were Blessed and Privileged to have known Dan....he simply had an appetite for life....NOT to mention his appetite for food and dining out...which was entertaining to observe...smile. After marrying Miss Carman and she took on his last name...he also had a name change...from Dan to..."Donnie Bouy"..which I effectually called him from that day on. So much could be written about Brother Dan and still not have expressed all we knew and felt about him. If you happen to be one of those fortunate ones he called "Friend"...nothing more needs to be said. There is a great void in my life that cannot be filled....but...I know that my "Donnie Buoy" is in a much better place now...no more suffering in this life....as he leaves behind a Golden Legacy and set a standard by which we all should strive to live....always sharing and greeting each day with the joy he had for us ALL. He will "never " be gone as long as there are those of us who will continue to carry his memory in our hearts. Rest in Peace my Brother and always make us aware that you are watching and looking down on us as we attempt to be vessels of joy to others as you once were. So Mote It Be...Johnnie Cole

My deepest condolences to Dan’s sons, grandchildren, stepchildren, sister and family. I have known Dan since 1981 after he moved to Grundy. My husband and I will miss hearing his many stories. He had the greatest sense of humor, an unforgettable laugh and a genuine love for this part of Virginia. Most of all we will miss his friendship. Dan was a man of great faith with the biggest heart ever. He deeply loved his wife, Carmen, his sons and entire family. One could never have a better friend than Dan. He is now with his beloved Carmen. Rest in peace dear friend. My heart goes out to his family. My God provide each of you with comfort during this sad time.

I had both the privilege and pleasure of knowing Dan many rears ago in Grundy Virginia. A good, kind, intelligent man with a wonderful sense of humour, a huge heart and curious mind. My heartfelt condolences to his family. Rest in peace, dear Dan....Ginger Owens

Dan was a very pleasant, energetic, vivacious and amazing person. I met him when he took my Old Time String Band class at VHCC several years ago. He wanted to learn to play the banjo. He brightened up the classroom each day with his smile and personality. He was a joy to teach and a joy to know. Blessings to you all!

Dan was a great friend when we were living in Grundy, VA. We admired his devotion to his sons, his contributions to our church group, and his value as a true friend. I will always remember his bright smile and infectious laugh. My condolences to the family.
