Lit a candle in memory of Daniel Craig Borders
Back in the early 1950's, Helen, Hick and Dan lived upstairs in a two story double. My family, Jean, Frank and myself, lived downstairs. The first memory I have as a child, is climbing the stairs and knocking on the upstairs door. Helen opened the door and I asked, "Can Danny come out and play".. She replied, "not now honey, he's taking a nap". For some reason, I remember that incident, like it was yesterday. I was about four years old and Dan was around two.. Since that time, Dan and I have worked together, played together and shared many holiday and birthday parties together. We shared summer vacations in Kentucky, on our grand parents farms. He was never too busy to help out, when I really needed him and he would always go the extra mile to help his family and friends. There is not enough space on the internet, to record all the happy times we spent together and to try to relate what a great person he was.
Not only the deck, but the tile floor in the foyer. I remember the night we installed the floor. There was no water in the house yet, so we had to go next door, to get water for the tile saw.
This breaks my heart to see. Danny was a wonderful, kind, sweet and gentle man. He did so much for so many with little expected in return, except respect. Many years have gone by since I last saw him, but he will forever be in my heart and memories. My prayers for his family as they begin their journey of grief, is that with hope ! that love and memories will bring them to a place of peace. Rest, dear friend….you are at peace.
We were so sorry hear of Dan's death from Marsha and Dennis. We had only met him once and had hoped to have him do our addition—our hearts go out to you and your family with your loss. Barb Peckinpaugh and Don Huff
Danny will be missed by so many. He was such an amazing person. You are in my thoughts and prayers and my heart aches for your loss. Heaven has gained a very special angel.Sue Wisner
So sorry to hear of Dan's passing. I first met him in fourth grade at Wallings Road Elementary School.He was always a caring and helpful person.I remember helping him with his race car and all the weekends spent at Dragway 42 and Norwalk Raceway. Also working for Hick and Dan in construction. In later years we bought a house In Cape Coral and Dan was a big help there. He was always so busy but we managed a couple of dinners with Dan and Denise and Hick. He will be greatly missed. Ray and Patricia Davis
We are so sorry for your loss. Dan was a great guy and a great neighbor. He was always generous to me with construction advice for the do- it- yourself-er across the street. We will miss him dearly.
Dan was a great friend and fellow Trustee. He was a kind and gentle man with the heart of a giant. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him.Bernie Knisley and Mary Riggs
