How we take for granted those cherished early and teen age years and all the joys and learning pains they brought us. As we grow old, and lose friends and loved ones, it feels like a part of us dies with them and leaves an emptiness, a void, that we try to fill in with fond memories or stories. Life is too short, love those close hard, appreciate your family , and reach out and find those who were a part of your past. Love you Dan 😘
A poem in loving memory of Dan. For his loving wife, Lisa, and their children and grandchildren. Know he is always with you.....
forever in your hearts.
Eulogy from the Heart
I see your tears in the rain.
I hear your voice in the wind.
I feel your touch in the warmth of the sun.
I long for your presence,
But instead I'm comforted by your memory.
You're gone from this world,
But not from mine.
A part of you lives inside of me.
A part of me has died.
I carry on so your memory will flourish.
Linda Hoyt
In memory of Dan Croce; loving husband, terrific father, doting grandfather, patriotic soldier, & a man with a musical heart n soul, as well as a sharp mind & wit. We are truly blessed to have met you.....Tony (Linda) Bilello.
Love you Dan Richard😘
I only met Dan in person once when we (w/ Chris) went to meet my new daughter. I'm a pretty darn good judge of character and this man was tough. Strong willed, smart as hell, reserved but blunt, sarcastic and underneath he had a heart as large as the ocean. I liked him instantly. I have heard the most wonderful stories about how he would help anyone and the responsibilities he took on that most people would walk away from. People like that are few and far between. Count yourself lucky if you had the chance to be part of his life.
I remember not being to sure of Dan when we first met. But he picked me up from the airport one time when I was moving down there. He was driving a mustang convertible and I remember hitting the freeway and highway to hell came on. The man could sing some acdc like no one I had ever heard and was a changing point for us. This man was the glue that held our family together and for that I will always respect him and cherish our times together. I love you and no, I won't be going outside in just my socks.
“Hitchhiking across Florida” to stay with Lisa and Dan was worth it to spend the time Sherry Nicklow and I were blessed with. Love you, Dan! Hugs and prayers to Lisa and family.
I am so happy we all got to spend time together at the cabin in PA this past summer! Chatting on the porch and watching the kids play was so great!
