He will be greatly missed by everyone at Hall and all the customers he served in his long career. Predeceased in death by his parents Paul and Lori Bruner and his brother Michael.

SHINING STAR
The angels looked down from heaven one night.
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven,
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven.
Keep us free from hurt and pain.
You’ll always be within our hearts
Until we meet again.
Rest in peace sweet Dan,
You will be so very missed.
my heart is broken, I love you dearly Dan….. thanks for all the years of wonderful friendship, for always taking care of me with my wonderful Acura, and just being an amazne person and friend. God bless… I will miss you dearly Julia
Dan O was definitely the most affable fun loving guy and always down for good time.
This of course was contagious and there were many good times. I’ll always remember Chicks Beach in the 90″s as one of the best times in my life and so glad Dan was a part of it. Dan was right “we’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time”.
Thanks for the memories and knowing it was a life well lived.
God speed brother, KB
I live out of town and wasn’t able to attend Dan’s memorial in person, but I just watched the live stream. Thank you for doing that and for allowing us to ‘be there’. I laughed thru my tears hearing all the stories of what a truly great person Dan was in life. He was absolutely the ‘go to’ guy, the true friend to us all. My heart is beyond broken ? The only thing that makes it hurt just a bit less is to know that Dan found love before he died. I’m so grateful that he was happy at the end…and I hope he knows how happy he made all of us. Rest In peace Dan…you will be so so missed here on earth ?
