    Bernie and Fami,y, we are so sorry for your loss of such kind, sweet and gentle man, Dan Valentine. We know him through Deer Run Campground. Many evenings he would come over to our campsite and entertain us with his guitar and harmonica. He also had a lot of stories to tell. We will miss him and his great personality. We would sometimes discard things at the campground that we no longer wanted or broken and invariably Dan would pick it up and put it in his garden shed and would u,timate,y repair it to be used again. May he Rest In Peace. God bless him and you too Bernie,
    Love, Lorraine and Jim Gorton

    Bernice and Family, I am so very sorry to hear Danny has passed away. He was a kind, caring, wonderful person. He and Tommy Valentine took such good care of me when at 13 , my mom passed away. He was always smiling, playing the guitar, and singing. God Bless him and you all. Cousin Gail Valentine Wrieden

    This is sad news, what a beautiful soul we lost. Dan was always happy to see you, he always engaged in pleasant conversation, and enjoyed entertaining. My condolences to the Valentine family, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
