When I saw the news, I just couldn't beleive it. Between football and wrestling, I was around Dana quite a bit. Whenever I hear his name the first thing that comes to mind is the bus trips to away games or matches. Dana would always lead everyone in sing along song. He always started with that stupid bear song and the lyrics were different everytime. But everyone always sung along and had a great time. I can still remember most of that song today, at least the part that didn't change everytime. Ironically he ended up singing for audiences in different places. At the end, it seems he felt backed into a corner. From the info I gathered, it looks like he was trying to move down to Key West to start a new life. I'm not sure what happened to get him to that point, but I hope he and Ricky are catching up on missed time. RIP Dana.
Very well said Grant. Dana was truly a larger than life individual who has left us way too early. I am truly saddened by the thought that at the very end, Dana likely had no idea the number of friends he had nor how much we all loved him for the kind of person he was. He will be missed by many but will live on in the many memories we each have of him.
