PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE AFTER SERVICE

Dan's Wife Maureen call me yesterday afternoon to let me know that the arrangements have been made for Dan's Memorial Service.  

Services are:

Saturday August 5, 2017 at 10:00am

at

Fairfax Community Church

11451 Braddock Road,

Fairfax VA.  

The after service will be at:

The Auld Shebeen Irish Pub

3971 Chain Bridge Road

Fairfax, VA 22030

Dan's Company has offered up the use of that facility.

Please reply here if you have any questions or plan to attend. 

Maureen also asked me to write out a special thanks to everyone here at CBN thanking each of you for your support.  It's meant a lot to her to see how much Dan was loved.  I was there and took the picture as he opened the guitar that was auctioned for and then gifted to him. It was much appreciated.  I know that Maureen was especially comforted seeing all the love poured out for her husband.  Though I've just been a lurker here for many years, I want to thank everyone for the boost you gave both of them. 

Since this is also my first/intro I'll just say I'm a good friend of Dan's and introduced him to Shane & CBGs way back when. You can read more here, if you are interested. I spent a week at Dan's house in May.  Dan and I worked on one last build together.  I'll be turning it into a full tutorial post at some point as I have all the pics of us along the way. It's actually my first build and the last guitar that Dan worked on.  The box was carved by a friend of his in England, a member here I suspect.  Dan had seen how much I loved it and gave it to me last year.  It still needed to be glued when I had to fly back home. So there's a little more work to be done on it.  Here are a couple pics from near the end of that build..

Thanks Brian for a touching tribute here and on your Facebook page.  I've known Iggy since the very early CBG days (I'm member # 1 here).  He was a great guy and will be missed by many folks worldwide.  

R.I.P. Dan - happy trails...

We miss Dan already.

Great post  / tribute  / and info share  .  i really miss Dan  , and still stuck in disbelief . 

More than sad, Dan gave a lot of himself to others, thanks Brian, and the guitar i'm sure will be a great remembrance

I'll be there
