Leave a tribute for Daniel W. Sluder.
I'll miss you Dan. You loved your children and grandchildren and didn't hesitate to step in when you were needed. I'm glad I was able to offer you a safe place to stay your last few years to help you bring yet another granddaughter through her critical infant years. I enjoyed talking about NASCAR with you and always liked saying that Clairee had the Yellow one! I wish we could have gone fishing with the poles we each bought. You left too early, but your family and I will always remember you. Someone doesn't always have to be nicely polished to be a loving father and grandfather. I'll miss our conversations.
I am going to miss you my friend of 30 and some years. We hardly ever saw eye to eye but we came to a understanding because we loved the neices that you and Sonia brought into this world and mt life. We finally friends after so many years! Who am I going to gossip with in the middle of the night now? I am going to miss you friend! Love always. Don't worry I got this until it is time to see you and all my family again ❤️
